I mean we can sort by new or hot or active etc. But can we add more algorithms that people can then choose. For example id love to be able to have an algorithm that allows me to rate communities so I could say rate a meme community 1 and a chess community 10 so I only see the best of the meme community and most of thr chess posts, since I find meme communities dominate your feed otherwise.

Theres a new algorithm that should be coming in an update soon (I assume 0.19) called Scaled

This is basically the hot algorithm but takes into account the monthly active users of the community so communities with less monthly active users show up more and arent dominated by the meme communities

Would fix the issue you say there

Is there some kind of a roadmap when 0.19 might come out?

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

sometime in the next couple weeks probably based on their last development update

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can try it out on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/

I made an account and subscribed to a bunch of communities on there to test out, seems pretty good

Is the link down?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Yep haha, it was just running when I made my comment. It's the alpha testing server so it does go down sometimes.

It's supposed to come out soon but there's some compatibility issues with apps still which may delay instances that want to remain as compatible as possible. It's a pretty big change.
