Suggestions on "My feed"

I would like to delve into my perspective on "My Feed" in Polkaverse through this new post.

When a new user, with only a wallet and no connections or subscriptions, accesses Polkaverse, they encounter the following:

An empty initial screen, which may give the impression of a lack of content.

After some time browsing, they realize they need to navigate to the posts section to start seeing other users' content. I recall that, upon discovering the "posts" tab, my initial reaction was to randomly add users to "My Feed" with the intention of seeing content upon entry, without really knowing what type of content they were posting. Over time, I stopped following some of those initial users as their posts were not the type I wanted to read.

"My Feed," like any personal profile, continuously evolves in sync with the user's growth in experience on the platform. As users interact more, "My Feed" adapts and refines their content preferences. For an advanced user, "My Feed" can become the primary source of relevant content, eliminating the need to explore other sections of the platform. Such users, due to their experience, do not need "My Feed" to be prominently featured because they already know where they prefer to navigate.

It seems counterintuitive to suggest that a new and unknown user should immediately start following other preferred users. I believe the priority of "My Feed" should be minimal on the dashboard since it is empty at the beginning and should be an integral part of the user's profile construction process.

In conclusion, I think highlighting "My Feed" prominently at the beginning of the platform is a mistake. A possible solution would be to integrate it more organically within the user's profile, allowing it to develop naturally over time. This aligns with a point I made in another post with the use of this image:
