How Discovery Works on taron
taron surfaces hosts and creators through several overlapping channels — your Home Feed, the events you attend, the communities you join, and search. Each channel works slightly differently, but all of them feed from the same underlying logic: taron shows you the creators most relevant to your interests and activity.
The more you engage with the platform — following hosts, joining communities, attending events — the more accurately taron calibrates what it shows you. For a new account with no history, the Home Feed's Suggested People and creator recommendation sections are based on your selected interests. For an active account, they reflect your actual behaviour.
Where Hosts Appear
Event Pages — Every taron event credits its host prominently. If you attend something excellent, the host's name and profile link are on the Event Page. This is the most direct route from a good experience to a follow.
Your Home Feed — The Highlights, Trending, and For You sections of the taron Home Feed surface hosts whose events match your interests. taron's Suggested People section is specifically designed for host discovery — it shows creators worth following based on what you engage with.
Communities — Hosts who build Communities on taron are visible in community discovery. A community focused on Lagos tech or African creative industries will usually be managed by a creator worth following in that space.
Search — Search by topic, event type, location, or name to find specific hosts. If you know the name of someone who hosts on taron, search finds them directly. If you are browsing by topic — "African fintech events" or "Lagos creative community" — search returns both events and the hosts behind them.
Evaluating a Host Before Following
Look at three things: how recently and consistently they have hosted (visible on their profile as recent events), whether they have built a Community (sign of sustained investment), and what their event descriptions say about the quality of their work. A host whose Event Pages are vague and sparse is unlikely to become a consistent value-add in your feed.
For Diaspora Members
taron is built for Africans wherever they are. Discovery works across borders — you can find and follow hosts based in Nairobi from Toronto, or discover diaspora creators in London from Lagos. Online and hybrid events make cross-border following practically useful, not just theoretically possible.
