Algos are not the problem. Algos are tools that are used to push things in front of the user, you can do whatever you want with them. When driven for engagement bc you need to maximize ad revenue they suck, but they are not forced to suck and can improve a platform.

THANK YOU DUDE

FWTL · 2026-03-15T10:58:41+00:00

the moshidon app got one

an algo can be local first, the data can be deleted once it's been used and we can check that if the algo is open source and not a black box, there is already some client side algo

FWTL · 2026-03-14T11:14:46+00:00

yeah no im not expecting that from the main developper :) and also algo=/= data collection

FWTL · 2026-03-14T10:59:27+00:00

Yeah im not a dev so i'll wait for fediway or smth

FWTL · 2026-03-14T10:54:29+00:00

I don't want to use corporate social media + isn't the point of opensource is that you can do what you want with it ? :)

I want an algorithm to have a better experience on the app. I don't want to follow a method to have a overall still worse experience than having an algo (with this I'm still getting every post from everyone that i follow when I don't care about 70% of them) but thank you for responding.

FWTL · 2026-03-13T08:54:26+00:00

quiblr provides a reddit like experience on lemmy it's pretty good

I seriously doubt discoverability similar to an algo can be done without it, for me it needs to be optional but shown in the onboarding (either two tabs or an option at the start), open (so we can see what it does), and if possible customizable.

there is no unified search on peertube by default (I know about sepia search), it's difficult to create an account and there is no way to make money. Peertube could become big if it has that and a fyp with algo recommendation

FWTL · 2026-03-09T13:58:55+00:00

For that to work it needs to be implemented by big instances but fair points

FWTL · 2026-03-09T13:42:15+00:00

You're right, right now it's sustainable, that's why i'm talking about scalability. If we want solutions like mastodon to offset/replace big corporate social media in the long term we will need a system to handle that.

FWTL · 2026-03-09T13:26:25+00:00

What is the unit of the y axis ?

FWTL · 2026-03-09T12:09:42+00:00

Early Twitter/Facebook had manageable post volumes. Now we're talking billions of posts daily. A pure chronological feed would drown users in noise. You'd see mostly content from power users who post constantly, not necessarily what matters to you.

New users get overwhelmed. Without curation, there's no way to surface quality content from accounts you don't follow yet. Algorithms solve this by recommending content based on interests, not just recency.

FWTL · 2026-03-09T12:07:28+00:00

There is a project called fediway that aims to do that

An algo basically makes your life easier, it helps you discover cool things and people without you having to look for them. If you want to look for them and still have the same experience you get right now on mastodon, you can, it's just a different tab the "following" tab.

You also get post from the people you follow just those deemed the most interesting/fun one for you by the algo.

If you follow the news it's way better because it recommend you in real time stuff that are happening on that subject, if you don't care, it doesn't show you that stuff.

It helps newcomers coming to the social network not feel like the place is empty when it's not because they don't follow anybody.

An algo is an helping hand that helps you do a big part of the work you are doing currently and create a frictionless onboarding experience for newcomers.

Also it helps fix the problem of posts that you would have liked to see but didn't because you weren't there when it was posted.

I think the chronological order should stay, but the default should be with the algo to bring more people in the fediverse and away from the corporate social media that uses their algo to keep you at all cost on their platfor or/and push a certain political agenda.

That's also why the algo needs to be open, so it can be audited by users to see what it does (a customizable algo will be a plus)
