I see, makes sense. But you could follow 10-20 people that you actually care and want to curate, then join some Communities to follow similar topics.
Following people is mostly misused feature, people follow dozen people that they are not fully following for their content. Shows how we should work towards making it better or educate best use of feature.
For example: https://ecency.com/@bozz/feed shows all post from followings and https://ecency.com/created/my would show all posts from communities you join.
