I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what’s “hot” for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week.
And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.
Personally I’m just sorting by Subscribed, Top/Hour to exclude the popular local content that’s not of interest to me. For instance no sportsball or gaming, nothing against but I don’t care and I need more room for cats, otters, and beby elephants.
