Hey so is there any plan in the future to create a "you might also like to follow..." list?

Even without it it might be nice to see a list of people who have also shared stuff you have shared. Though I also fear that creating tools like this leads people to building a stronger bubble (not that this necessarily a bad thing I guess).

We've discussed the recommendations in the past and it's definitely something we've been keen on. I think it would be cool to answer some questions after you sign up about what interests you and then be given a list of users and tags to potentially follow. -I mean, if dating sites can connect two like minded people, why couldn't we? But this is just me shooting off the cuff, we've not discussed it that seriously.

It's on the list. It's a big challenge, an exciting one.

I'd just like to say inre: a suggestion list of users upon joining -- the algorithm would have to be really good. Better than the ones that give "tags this person is interested in" etc.
