Will people start developing plugable algorithms that could compete for the ordering Mastodon feeds? (And more broadly, ActivityPub feeds)
Anybody aware of existing proposals in this space?

@siderea Agree that if possible, feed curation should be a frontend feature rather than a backend one.
However, if you wanted to get something like 'recommended posts' based on stuff you have previously Favorited (not sure I want/care about this, but hypothetically), then you might not have enough visibility to do it from the frontend/client; it would have to be at least partly done on the backend. The architecture for something like that could get messy, I think.

Rather than no algorithm at all (#chronologicalFeed), I would like to be able to customize or even write my own #algorithmicFeed.
