Whats the state of #algorithms on #Mastodon? I mean for the feed. I understand that algorithms based on engagement are problematic, but scaling posts based on posting frequency could help me not have a feed where some people are drowned out by frequent posters...

Check out Phanpy.social for the Catch-up algorithm, which allows you to fully customise and sort your feed.

For a real 'For You' algorithm that suggests posts by people you dont follow, check out SoraSNS on iOS. That has a fully customisable algorithm where you can completely customise the topics the algo recommends, as well as how likely each topic is to be recommend.
