 ⚡ Transparency is important When you browse feeds on our app, you can tap the 3 dot menu and tap the "Why you're seeing this post" to learn more about the context. We call these System Cards, and they help explain why you're seeing a particular post. This will become more important soon as we release custom algorithmic feeds, don't worry though, chronological feeds will remain the default 😉 #pixelfed #discovery #systemCards 10 comments
  Pixelfed is moving on Innovation way ahead of Mastodon. Import (from Instagram) already there, algorithmic feed sorting (with transparent explanations) coming. Despite my preference for text over images, I'm going to give Pixelfed a lot more time in the near future.. @pixelfed  @pixelfed ok... playing Devil's advocate here... How is it going to differentiate Pixelfed from InstaMeta once you've added "algorithms" ? Because ultimately, any algorithm that chooses for the end user what he's going to see will be abused to the point where your product will become the same cesspool as Meta and that Critter. And that's not a good thing (unless the Devil ordered it). Also "...your activity on Pixelfed and accounts you follow" - that's a recipe for an echo-chamber. Bad. Bad. |

@pixelfed Custom algorithmic feeds is a killer feature. IMO all fediverse projects need it. Great work!
