@darius I wonder if it would make more sense to sort by the degrees of freedom on the social graph and abandon artificial popularity ranking entirely. That would mean someone with a million followers who I don’t know would be ranked below someone who followed a person I’m following, who I was probably searching for
@cinebox yes, that would be good, but we do not have easy access to degrees on the social graph in Mastodon, and in fact that is somewhat by design since you don't have complete data about who remote accounts are following
