When writing this, I have five links on the Bear discovery home page. Thank you to everyone who thinks some of my posts are worth an upvote. I’m truly grateful.
But to be honest, I also feel a bit embarrassed. I’m currently taking up about 25 percent of that page. That doesn’t really feel fair.
Maybe it’s just the Scandinavian jantelagen (Law of Jante) in me speaking, but I have a feeling others have thought about this too.

I’m sure most users agree that the discovery feed is one of the reasons Bear feels like such a lovely platform. There’s so much great content out there, and it really adds to the sense of community. My RSS reader is filled with blogs I’ve discovered this way, both through trending and most recent.
Herman has created something truly beautiful and useful. It’s a joy to publish your own content, and the discovery feeds are great for finding other people’s writing.
Still, maybe there’s room for one more section. Something that isn’t purely based on algorithms and recency. Something in between.
What about an Explore section? A place where trending and recent posts mingle in a nice little symbiosis. A place where a single blog can only appear once per page.
I would love such a feature. Then again, maybe this is just my inner overthinker chiming in again. Either way, I felt like I needed to get it out there.
Keep on blogging, no matter how “trendy” you are.
