For me the feeds solve a lot of problems with straight hashtags, like getting stuff that's the wrong language, or bot spam. But I guess if you are just going for visual stuff that stuff may be easier to tolerate.
If you don't like the feeds that are out there already, you can build your own feed. https://www.southernfriedscience.com/a-quick-and-dirty-guide-to-making-custom-feeds-on-bluesky/
Thanks! I was looking for a way to build my own feed, but this is the first guide I've seen that seems relatively simple to follow. I agree that there's downsides to simply following hashtags, but I'm familiar with ways to curate my feed based on hashtags, and just wanted to start with something familiar. The curated feeds are probably great for a lot of people, but just really frustrated me, as the feeds I happened to browse seemed to somehow include more "junk" than what I've encountered with the equivalent hashtags on Mastodon.
