we really need some kind of #mastodon feed mix controls. like, say I'm subscribed to someone who posts every 5 minutes, and I want to see their posts, but I don't want my entire feed to be just their posts. idk if that's a client level thing or a mastodon server level thing. i don't think it's #activitypub level
@2ck you want... *gulp* an Algorithm?
@joeldebruijn i think maybe it's less that i want posts filtered and more than I want some to be compressed for noisier folks in my feed so they take up less vertical space. something like a summary block that shows "@Devin posted about COVID, horses, Gentoo... (8 posts)"
and i can configure what criteria triggers compression ('clustering'?): number of posts, diversity of topics (may use a language model), temporal separation, etc
