I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what’s “hot” for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week.

And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.

    Exactly this. My specific issue is memes vs my city. My city gets’ about a post a day where memes get’s like 20-30. I really care about the 1 post per day with my city and I care enough about memes to subscribe but not enough to see all 20.

      Yeah I am subbed to some of the meme communities and I find them entertaining…but the problem is they are significantly more active than other communities. When I browse my subbed feed I only see memes and almost nothing else. I don’t want to unsub because I enjoy the memes, but I also want a more balanced feed.

      Reddit seemed to fare better at parsing this sort of disparity.
