I kinda wish mastadon wasnt anti-algorithm when it comes to your feed... The ideal, IMO, is that the user can pick whatever algorithm they want to effectively empower their feed and make discovery of new content better.
@freemo I feel like the marketplace of algorithms would be nice. @masnick's "Protocols, Not Platforms" paper https://knightcolumbia.org/content/protocols-not-platforms-a-technological-approach-to-free-speech outlines this idea with some analysis.
Mastodon seems to have an algorithm, by default; just add /explore to the name of the server. (or click on # explore) But qoto has this disabled for reasons I can only guess at. AFAICT this algorithm is basically boost count?
I don't know; maybe?
See these when you're logged out:
https://mastodon.online/explore
https://freeatlantis.com/explore
It says "These posts from this and other servers in the decentralized network are gaining traction on this server right now."
That's what I mean.
https://qoto.org/explore
It's sort of a directory of users. Nice, but totally different.
