I released a bunch of small bug fixes and performance improvements for #FediAlgo, the mastodon timeline feed algorithm (though unfortunately it still requires a command line to run I promise I will soon deploy it somewhere anyone can enjoy it as they can with stuff like Phanpy).
ΩΩ New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:
1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)
2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers
All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.
For now you still need to use the command line to run it (it's easy tho). If there's interest I can deploy the demo publicly.
There is no algorithm here. Nothing is going to insert #content into your #timeline that an algorithm thinks you might be interested in.
Your timeline consists solely of the content from the people you #follow, and the content they #boost.
No boosts and you will never find out about that cool artist that started posting their artwork. You will never find out about the photographer that just joined a Pixelfed instance and is sharing their amazing photos.
Likes don't show up in the timelines of the accounts that follow you.
The only way for people to find new and cool content and accounts to follow is by you and I #boosting their content.
Sehr kurios. Habe eine Mastodon Instanz, sowie diese Sharkey Instanz. Bei Sharkey bekomme ich wesentlich mehr in die Timeline gespült. Obwohl ich bisher „Nur“ die Personen denen ich folge von mastodon übertragen habe. #fedimins#sharkey#timeline#mastodon
3 months ago, I wrote a blog entry about the “Iron Sky Movie” and how reality became in many ways weirder. I now live in a timeline where they did not send a black model to the moon, but Katy Perry above the Kármán line.
Is there a setting to stop #Mastodon#Timeline and Live Feed from auto updating in browser? Toots are scrolling too fast to read. Surely can't be right. Never looked at them much before. #LiveFeed
Why even undertake a listing of notable U.S. #Queer events from the 1600s until today? Because I believe knowledge is power and that facts must never be erased from #history. So here, for anyone to see, is a #timeline, as complete as I can make it. https://buff.ly/eAcks3i
Danke allen für diesen lebendigen Tag hier auf meiner #timeline * Und fürs #boost - en und empfehlen und #tipps so viel #followerpower * Nach und nach werde ich hier durchblicken im #fediversum *
Möge uns und allen ein #licht aufgehen in diesen Zeiten, fällt mir zu meinem #foto ein...
I’m having an issue with my mastodon timeline marks. I use both mobile and desktop interchangeably, but when I switch devices, there's no way to pick up the timeline from where I left off. I end up having to manually search for the last toot I saw. Anyone else out there dealing with this?
