I don't know what that means but I imagined an RSS feed with posts from sites that I don't yet know but where the posts get grouped or served in groups or categories that interest me. It doesn't even need to limit to sites or blogs. Could as well just be self hosted images or videos served on an RSS feed, and sorted into some kind of category/group/topic
Every poster can have their own content on their own server or even a webhotel running even WordPress but it gets listed and served on a unified platform like lemmy
The way you describe it could be something like Mastodon or Misskey where people post articles. Both of those platforms are using ActivityPub too
Like stumbleupon used to be?
Sounds like Mastodon to me. You can even interact with Lemmy through Mastodon. Though I think it works the other way around. At least not at the moment.
Maybe you could create a community for blog readers.
You’re wanting pixelfed if you’re missing instagram. But as far as blogs, Wordpress has implemented activity pub.
RSS feeds are your friend.
But are there public rss feeds with content from blogs or creators that i don't yet know.
I know that i can add a feed to an RSS reader but what I would love, was a public autofed list of content, preferably filtered and sorted in categories and tags
boredreading.com is a blog feed with hashtag/topic subscriptions but it sounds like that’s not really what you’re looking for?
Have you checked out Mastodon? Idk if it's exactly what you are looking for since it's more akin to Twitter but it has hashtags that you can pin to keep up on. There's some stuff that's more longform and visual on there too or at least people will link to there stuff if it isn't listed there. Maybe try a couple different apps, I use megalodon, see if does what you need.
There's also Friendica, it's more often use for #blogs while Mastodon mostly used for #microblogs
You can also follow #Lemmy communities using #Friendica groups feature
