  1. I have made some more improvements to #FediAlgo:

    • Quotes are now properly rendered (where possible: unfortunately the underlying FediAlgo doesn't return quote props from the API, so it relies on text parsing)
    • Browser back navigation now works after opening a thread
    • very tall posts are hidden behind a show more.
    • thread views now produce a shareable link.

    Check it out at fedialgo.thms.uk if you are interested.

  3. Been working in mobile support and light mode for #FediAlgo this week. Really enjoying using it on my phone now.

    Hoping to get PRs accepted, but in the meantime you can check out a test version here:

  5. @jerrej understandable; i too am paranoid.

    but if you feel like looking into it check the #Fedialgo hashtag and/or search posts for fedialgo, you'll see other people vouching for it. someone even made an awesome video about it.

    How easy do you think it would be to make a fork of a mastodon android app with #fedialgo built in? Even just a janky proof of concept version? Has someone done it already?

  9. For those curious in the answer - #FediAlgo seems to be the closest thing to what I was looking for, and it's very cool!

  11. Hey fediverse, what's the latest on DIY #algorithms for #fediverse/ #mastodon?

    I'm imagining the sort of thing where I could pull up a feed and it would show me things based on a prediction on what I'd like to engage with, but based on my own parameters which I could somehow tweak.

    What projects should I be looking at?

    (I know this is technically challenging for various reasons)

    Boost for reach please.

  13. 3/X “But there are algorithmic feeds for Mastodon?” — Yes, great tools exist, for example:

    ➡️ #BYOTA by @mala
    ➡️ #FediView by @adamghill
    ➡️ #Fedialgo by @pkreissel

    .. but most are client-side. They can rerank your existing timeline, but can't make #recommendations from outside your follower bubble.

  15. I just discovered FediAlgo ( fedialgo.thms.uk/ ), and if anyone is looking for a controlled and open source implementation of a Mastodon algorithm, it looks pretty promising! #privacy #fedialgo #algorithm #fediadmin #fedi #fediverse #feed #activitypub #socialmedia #socialweb #opensource #foss #fossfinds

  17. @bonn.digital Hier hatte ich schon mal ein bisschen ausführlicher zu dem Thema geschrieben, ging da um das coole Projekt #FediAlgo .

  18. p.s. @paige the "resource consumption" concern is grade A concern trolling. #FediAlgo is highly optimized. my profile is only 34 MB of storage in my browser for months of algorithm and ~2MB of code for the app.

    other than the small wait at the beginning of loading the app (which could indeed be improved if it were running on the server side) there are virtually no resource constraints.

    also #FediAlgo is published as a javascript package that serves up augmented data objects that are the same as what is returned by the Mastodon API so any mastodon web app (e.g. #Phanpy etc) should be able to pretty much just install it.

    i think theoretically it could even be installed server side as-is because the main mastodon web app is ruby + javascript, though i'm not exactly sure if that could be done seamlessly / without some tweaks.

    #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.

  24. maybe my favourite thing about #fedialgo is that i can get a very quick overview of what folks are talking about in my #mastodon #timeline.

    i dunno if it's just me but the daily discussion on my #tl is usually... let's say "not optimistic".

  26. @cryptadamist @n_dimension

    With Mastodon's default algorithm I often missed out on the interesting content I actually would like to find.

    I often wished I had more control over my timeline and thanks to #FediAlgo I now have!

    Thanks so much for your work and I hope this feature is integrated into Mastodon itself some time in the future 🤩

  28. @jandi @dannotdaniel @risottobias p.s. re: the OP's meme, one of the frustrations that made me decide to build #fedialgo was the fact that favourites don't really mean anything if there's no algorithm.

    in fedialgo depending on how you set the sliders your favourites history can have a big impact on what ends up at the top of your feed.

  30. if people had any idea how many 0-10 follower memecoin spam accounts on mastodon.social i'm reporting with #fedialgo the fediverse might give me a medal.

    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.

  34. 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.
