@rauschma@fosstodon.org Thanks for all your contributions. What would be really useful is to have a very basic algorithm that places the posts with the most boost by the ones *you* follow at the top, and to make it one of the default options, particularly for the new users. Not having any algorithm whatsoever is probably the reason many of my colleagues became completely inactive.

@rauschma@fosstodon.org Yes, I can understand the discomfort many have with most existing algorithms on the for-profit social networks that try to pull you into the drama. But indeed, I think that an algorithm that just does some simple ordering based on your own social network will be a very different experience. Phanpy has that option, but it is a Beta feature, and quite hidden.

@luketrevorrow@fosstodon.org @rauschma@fosstodon.org Hi Luke, it is called the "catch-up" option which you can find in the top-left under the small horizontal bars. After that you could select for "top-links". But very weird, this "top-links" option seems to have disappeared. I will check tomorrow again.
