Good news, just like Reddit enhancement suite, kbin has kbin enhancement suite going. Why don’t you ask them if they can do this.
@enhancement
It might be kinda hard to pull off, but I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure if KES can be used to (easily) modify the post rankings, but I think randomly hiding them based on a factor you set could work well. So if you set it to 50% for @memes, it’ll hide half of the posts from there on average.
It’s not perfect, but I think it strikes the right balance between seeing every post and blocking it. I’m busy this weekend but I’ll create an issue on KES’s GitHub repo and someone might beat me to it.
This might be a bad suggestion, but would it be possible to do something like mute community for x hours? So until now reaches a timestamp, hide posts from that community (sort of like discords mute channel for x hours). That way people could be like "I'm done with memes for now, but want to see them when I wake up"
That would be a totally fine workaround. So I guess the user would create a list of 'attenuated communities' or some such, and set a value for each.

You may also want to consider requesting this as a feature for https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp
https://kbin.social/u/hariette is implementing a feature where your subs home page can be "sprinkled" with posts from communities you don't already follow. See:
https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp/t/173125/Artemis-is-experimenting-with-a-Discovery-Mode-for-your-feed
What you're asking for is a variation of that.
Going to see if I can spin out a community dampener based on the filter feature Artemis has already. Cause I'm so finding myself a bit tired of meme dominating so much heh.
Agreed, custom aggregators for kbin and the fedverse in general, will become a thing.
I can see a view that combines the hot posts from each of my subbed communities, with the top 1 or two posts from each featuring, filtering over a time constraint or some other ranking system.
A client side implementation would be possible, but expensive in api calls. Server side should be easier. Maybe even defining a query language of sorts that can be user customised, if we wanted to be really fancy.
Some form of weighted rank, combining activity and interaction. I am subbed to some slow communities that are just starting. Maybe having a post or two in 24 hours where I would want those posts to rank highest. Subbed fast paced communities would then rank lower if we factor frequency and interaction on a per community basis.
@Prouvaire
Yes, Hariette has been super responsive to the community. They’re a fan of Apollo and they’re trying to bring that same community interaction between users and their development of the app. Looking forward to it.
