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.

The recorded #queer #history in #Canada begins after the European colonization. From the mid-17th Century until 2025, Canada’s progress on 2SLGBTQ+ rights begins slowly, then accelerates, with several bumps in the road along the way.

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.

For now you still need to use the command line to run it (it's easy tho). If there's interest I can deploy the demo publicly.

Here's why your #boosts matter so much on the #Fediverse:

There is no algorithm here. Nothing is going to insert
#content into your #timeline that an algorithm thinks you might be interested in.

Your timeline consists solely of the content from the people you
#follow, and the content they #boost.

No boosts and you will never find out about that cool artist that started posting their artwork. You will never find out about the photographer that just joined a Pixelfed instance and is sharing their amazing photos.

Likes don't show up in the timelines of the accounts that follow you.

The only way for people to find new and cool content and accounts to follow is by you and I #boosting their content.

This made me think. We are mutual Followers, your posts appear in my timeline, but I did not see them. I follow some 800 accounts, so this is unavoidable. The timeline is always full, and even if one attends to it regularly (as I do), posts come and go before you know it.

Is that necessarily bad?

I do try to manage the flow through lists and such, actively looking out for posts in certain areas, but ultimately the flow is the flow.

I realise that we must cherish this randomness, not regret it.

I carefully select whom I follow, so I can trust my timeline. I dip into the timeline when I am free, all posts are from trusted friends (or their boosts). I enjoy the posts i see, I engage with them and let things happen.

Inevitably I will miss posts, possibly important posts. That is not a weakness of the process, it is a sign of the richness of the flow. An abundance of trusted messages.

We must enjoy and celebrate the randomness.

Nachdem ich nun eine PeerTube-Instanz gefunden habe, dachte ich mir, ich nehme doch mal schnell ein kurzes Video auf für die neuen User, die sich das erste Mal bei einer bestehenden Friendica-Instanz registrieren und dann vor einer leeren Timeline stehen...


Das Video gibt es bei clip.place, einer PeerTube-Instanz und darf gerne geteilt werden.
