I’ve tried Mastodon and Sharkey, but both have the problem that the chronological display prioritizes quantity over quality. Interesting posts disappear in the noise of mediocrity. I’m looking for a feature that shows me the best posts of the day/last hour, etc., similar to Lemmy.
Even better would be an open sorting algorithm like Loops or one where I can set the weighting of posts myself.
Or perhaps there is an app that can do this?
Mbin federates with Mastodon & co and allows to sort microblog posts like on Lemmy.
Didn’t know that, thanks!
@Aequitas There is a frontend for your Mastodon account you can use to view your timeline in very different ways https://phanpy.social/
Thank you, this looks promising!

There is fedialgo which is a customizable algorithm for mastodon. However I don’t know of any full clients that implement this. They do have a demo at https://fedialgo.thms.uk/ if you want to play around with the weights.
https://news.feedseer.com/ does that.
Not in the timeline, but trending posts could be what you’re looking for.
Thanks, yes, that’s helpful. Although not exactly what I’m looking for :)
