@indigo The icons are an interesting approach to hashtags. They represent topics; books and sportsball. In my opinion the books icon has already departed a ways from its intention, which was recommendations rather than merely “read chapter 3 of Winnie the Pooh” but if that’s how people want to use it, who am I to argue.

@indigo Discover is not a global timeline. It is a curated list. But it does have a search feature that you can use to find people. And you can follow people on the Discover page and see who they are interacting with.

@indigo There isn’t, but there could be.
The point is not that it uses RSS but that the html contains machine-readable markup called microformats. This tells capable apps who the author is, what kind of post it is (reply, favourite etc), what the content is, if there is a photo, etc etc. Webmentions send the post and its metadata out and the receiving app then decides what to do with it, how to display and so on.
Webmention and mucroformats are the crucial elements. RSS is just one possible channel.

@matigo This is not the place for a full discussion of universal basic income. The way I see it, heavily influenced by a few things I have read, is that it offers people a permanent social net. Enough to live healthily, but not enough to have a whole lot of fun. If people want to earn more, they get a job. That does not deprive them of the UBI. If they want to study the harpsichord or ancient cuneiform, they do so. If they want to contribute to local society, they do so. It provides a base from which to do what inspires you.
@matigo Oh well, in that case I'll just leave this [stream.jeremycherfas.net] here.
@matigo I have forgotten how to request a new password for 10C. I need to sign in outside Cappucino to leave a comment. Please help.
@matigo It might help people if you could offer a field in Settings where they could do it themselves. Or is that what you had in mind?

Thanks everyone for helping me with this. Turns out I was wrong. I had self-signed and not Let's Encrypt on this particular site. I have now changed that and so with luck these problems will be a thing of the past.
Other problems, however …
