It’s my understanding that there is no algorithm. View only your subscriptions, only communities on your local instance, or the entire fediverse. Sort them however you want. Mix it up to find what makes you happy.
All that said, I personally would like to avoid seeing any account less than, say a week old. Maybe a filter coded into the interface would work.
Isn’t “hot” “new” etc an algorithm? I don’t think there is an algorithm-less way to sort the feed. Even a date sort is an algorithm.
Technically fair point. I stand corrected.
I understood OP to be pining for an obscured algorithm that surfaces “Interesting” content. I have zero desire for any of that nonsense here. It’s part of the reason that I’m adamantly opposed to federation with Facebook (when they finally figure out how to do it).
There is an algorithm, its just a non-personalized one.
Oh? How so?
High level overview vs a link to the code 😉 https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html
Technically fair point. I stand corrected. I understood OP to want an obscure algo to surface “interesting” content with no need for user interaction. I’m adamantly opposed to injecting that nonsense here.
Thanks for this link. I keep getting the sort orders confused despite having it explained well multiple times.
