  1. RE: mementomori.social/@rolle/1168

    Interestingly, Meta has been implementing a "tune your algorithm" type of feature, which is surprisingly user-focused. You can select the topics you want to see more of and what you want to see less of, mute words, add your preferences... of course, Meta has their own agenda and wants you to get as hooked as possible so they can make money off you as a product, but I like the idea that it is not completely opaque.

    I am building something similar in my Mastodon instance but truly without any monetary goal.

    For algorithm haters out there, remember that reverse chronological order is an algorithm too. If you like getting video recommendations on YouTube, PeerTube, or music recommendations in a playlist, that is an algorithm too. I honestly do not understand all the algorithm hate when it is focused on the tech itself rather than commercialism.

    The capitalist nature of algorithms is, of course, something to stand against, since it works by exploiting users. But if it is for user benefit without any rotten backstory, algorithms in my world are great.

  3. A tip for users of our experimental instance mementomori.social:

    You can enable the algorithmic "For you" feed from the top right corner of the Home feed. When you turn it on, it will instantly switch to a ranked feed that prioritizes posts based on who you follow, who you comment on, and what you like or boost. If you also toggle on "Include posts from people you don't follow," you'll see trending content across the Fediverse based on your interests.

    Unlike Trending tab, For you -feed is personal. The logic is similar to pre-Musk Twitter but user-focused and not corporate-owned.

    The Trending tab remains unchanged, and /explore shows posts from roughly the past 6-12 hours, with a strong focus on the most recent ones. A post that gets massive engagement might stick around a bit longer, but most cycle out within half a day. Your own For you page changes every time you click the menu, refresh the page, or return.

    This is ongoing, experimental work. The PR draft and source code are available here: github.com/mementomori-social/

    #FediAlgo (the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed) v1.2.2 is deployed now. Has a switch that makes sure any #hashtags / users / etc. that you follow are displayed as filter options even if they don't meet the minimum number of recent toots threshold.

    Also a bunch of bug fixes and small improvements.

    new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

    there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

  9. i think i had my first truly positive #AI experience... i asked it to write code comments that could be transformed into API documentation for #Fedialgo, and other than the part where it repeatedly and strenuously suggested deleting all the most important parts of the code, it actually did a pretty good job.

  15. I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:

    I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.

    Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.

    If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

    Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

  19. The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.

    Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse. Not really something you can do on any other social media platform I'm aware of.

  21. 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).

    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.

  25. Other algorithmic feeds can be generated by the user themselves using a small self-hosted LLM. Users will be able to generate these feeds by simply speaking them into existence:

    The UI will show an input field, and the user will type what sorts of posts they want to see. E.g.: "Show me posts related to information security"

    Then, the server will pass every single post that goes through the server's "global timeline" through this LLM-based filter. The ones the filter approves get sent to this "algorithmic feed" (really just a list).

    This technique can make the concept of hashtags (like the ones below) obsolete.

    New features for #FediAlgo, the customizable #algorithm for your Mastodon timeline:

    🪓 Live filtering based on #hashtag (inclusive and exclusive)

    #️⃣ Seed your timeline with toots from anywhere in the Fediverse that contain trending tags (#SouthKorea and #UnitedHealth have been big lately)

    🔥 Icons to inform you whether a toot is from an account you follow, a hashtag you follow, or is trending (and if so, why it's trending)

    ⚖️ Weight based on retoots, replies, age, etc.

    国 Filter on language

    I kind of find it hard to look at Mastodon without it at this point. The installable demo can be found here: github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/f

    Also available as a NodeJS package built on #Masto.
