    My Mastodon feed is kinda sad and boring

    Either you’re following the wrong people or this says more about you than it does about mastodon

    if I’m not on top of it I’ll just miss interesting posts that happened in the days I didn’t open the app.

    Oh no!! Heaven forbid you miss a social media post!! Whatever will you do?!??

      Or maybe you just want to see more relevant and interesting posts from the people you follow at the top of your feed rather than digging through hundreds of people crying about politics or talking about their dog walk this morning…?

        I never thought I would see the day that people WANTED algorithms. Jesus. Get of my lawn, kids.

          There’s always an algorithm.

          Sequential order with no weighting for what you care about is just a particularly bad one.

          Something very basic and transparent like lemmy’s ‘scaled’, sure
