That's lazy journalism. There's a functional search bar as well as trending hashtags.
There will never be suggestions by design, but there's accounts like FediFollow and guides on how to get started with Mastodon. If you meet those people in the future, tell them to follow hashtags for topics they like, and encourage them to start using hashtags. They'll find people that way.
This is also by design: there's no suggestions, because there's no algorithm. You decide what goes on in your feed (boosting is another important part of that). If you've looked at everything, explore a new hashtag, follow more people, check the Local or Global feeds, or Satan forbid anyone actually take that as a sign to take a break and go touch grass.
heaven forbid if people had to start using their own brains again
