Are there not clients that have a Hot feed? I’ve never used anything Twitter adjacent, but on Lemmy, functionality like that seems to vary between apps. Personally though, I’d never use something that doesn’t allow sorting by New. I prefer to keep up with the communities I’m involved in rather than just seeing a bunch of clickbait
I didn’t think so. It’s a deliberate design decision by the developers to make it really hard to compute.
This is actually something where Bluesky is doing more interesting federated things than Lemmy or Mastodon, and let’s you use your own algorithm while with both Lemmy and Mastodon you’re stuck with standard algorithms.
None of the alternative algorithms are particularly compelling yet, they’re mostly topic feeds, but who knows what’ll happen.
