Custom algorithms and bring your own domain are interesting features, and would be a good challenge I think 🤔

@dansup i keep thinking i need to create an algorithm to find "interesting" stuff for on here.

@dansup I'm very interested in seeing BYOD happen, both because it could let users join an existing instance while retaining the ability to migrate post-shutdown, and because it opens up the possibility of multiple "virtual" instances being backed by the same deduped object storage - could make managed hosting shops way more efficient in terms of storage as well as AP federation API traffic.

@dansup one suggestion: Call it something like 'content curating software' instead of algorithm, because for some that word is a big no no.

@dansup Between hashtag following, lists, mutes, and filters, I’ve built myself a very enjoyable dynamic ActivityPub algorithm using Mona app and my account on a Mastodon instance. I always see far more interesting content than I could ever read, and I tweak my algorithm regularly to balance between an overwhelming firehose of posts and a disappointing trickle.

For me, the filters are the most difficult to change because they are implemented on the account settings at the instance, but are also super important. My 3 major filters are “Asshole” which hides posts regarding the orange-faced man-child, “Twitter” which does the same for RTs and similar, and “Sportsball”, which is an ever-expanding list of sports, sports organizations, and sports events, none of which I really give a damn about.

BYOD would be great!

@dansup Bluesky’s custom algorithms is a really neat feature
