3/X “But there are algorithmic feeds for Mastodon?” — Yes, great tools exist, for example:

➡️ #BYOTA by @mala
➡️ #FediView by @adamghill
➡️ #Fedialgo by @pkreissel

.. but most are client-side. They can rerank your existing timeline, but can't make #recommendations from outside your follower bubble.

Just declared feed bankruptcy after a work trip kept me from all of your posts. I’m thankful to be back home sleeping in my own bed, and for #fediview
@flaki @phanpy @cheeaun I totally dig #phanpy and I agree it's really cool. But I haven't yet got the hang of #CatchUp. The thing is, I don't want to catch up on all the things that I missed. And while it does offer some filters, I feel it's still a lot of work to find what would be relevant. Or did I miss the point? (I like #Fediview in this regard, which allows me to configure an algorithmic timeline, but then forget about the settings and just browse relevant recent posts.)
@mho @decius @murmel_social Ich benutze auch #FediView, ist ebenfalls eine einfache algorithmische Timeline: https://fediview.com/

@[email protected] Yeah, there are some uglier parts for sure and some ugly parts of the culture, but there are improvement abounds. I am so excited for both the near term and long term future. There are also many projects that I didn't list and or don't even know about.

#Sup a #Fedi WhatsApp alternative, there's a Pinterest styled platform being worked on, #Goldfish is like Snapchat/Tiktok, #Fediview allows users to view an multiple options of a #Mastodon algorithmic view, my platform #Memory etc It is truly an exciting time!

Three #Mastodon / #Fediverse tools that I discovered recently and that are quite powerful:

- #Fediview https://fediview.com/ – A configurable algorithmic timeline for your feed.
- #Followgraph https://followgraph.vercel.app/ – Suggests accounts to follow based on who your contacts follow.
- #Phanpy https://phanpy.social/ – An alternative web UI for Mastodon. Hugely improves the overall experience for me.

I knew I wrote a post with all my revenue/expenses a while ago and I knew it had "plausible" in it. So, I searched via Mastodon. No dice.*

Then, I searched via https://fediview.com/plus and there it is was! Nice when I solve future me's problems. 😂

*Sometimes searching on my Mastodon instance server _does_ return my personal posts, so I'm not sure exactly what is going on.

One of my favorite tools I use with #Mastodon is #FediView from @adamghill which lets me very quickly see what popular posts I might have missed from my home feed. Especially helpful in the morning. It seems to struggle with the Federated feed but works with my Home feed just fine.

The previous version of https://fediview.com was a giant page with lots of buttons and inputs to fill in. It had grown organically as I just kept adding in new things over time.

I just released a new version with steps:
1: Authorize (either via logging in through your #mastodon instance or manually)
2. Configure your algorithm
3. See the summary

My hope is that it's less overwhelming for new visitors. My worry is that it's more annoying for returning users.
