Y'know,

I really miss an algorithm for my feed.

People tend to go on barricades when they hear this. But I would wager they are burnt from "commercial" application of such.

I see too many posts I really don't car eabout, like knottin' a sweater. And the tech posts I never see as the current "algorithm" is "show all post by date, newest on top".

A self-hosted, under your control configured algorithm can be benevolent.

As Mastodon is right now, It is borderlining useless. Interessting (to me) posts need to happen in that moment I am on the site. An hour later (or less) and they are gone.

And I do not have time to keep reading continuously.
