No algorithm makes social networks so annoying. Lemmy is so much annoying because of this. I always see the same stuff, aka US news and some shitposts, the usual upvoted and trending stuff
There’s no discovery algorithm and no way to see posts from smaller subscribed communities easily. Each sorting method returns non-interesting posts.
We need open source, local running, use tunable, auditable, collectively shareable content discovery algorithm
All for it, except maybe for it to run locally. An instance running it will be faster as it already has all posts and comments stored.
I want it all in a physical object in my home, that I can throw in the furnace any time. I don't mind the extra milliseconds, I want it in my computer not someone else's computer aka the cloud
