I feel way more welcome once I downloaded the iPhone app. I’m fairly new to tooting — I’m a researcher at HuggingFace focusing on reinforcement learning! #introductions #welcome

The app has been really good for me. I also downloaded back when the acquisition happened, so I’m glad I never got that ad

As a veteran, any tools/tips that I should check out? Particularly interested in trying out different rec-sys changes if you’ve come across any

@michael_dennis @dhadfieldmenell can we edit the algorithm? I think I’m seeing chronological

@natolambert @michael_dennis

I don’t think there is anything for this. It seems like this is the right time to be building up options. An open source recommendation system could be very interesting

Idk about option there but I laugh at being called a veteran seeing as my account is ~1 month old 😂

@dhadfieldmenell @michael_dennis @natolambert I’ve been told Metatext is a better iOS client than the official Mastodon app, using it now. But idk!

@jonathanstray @michael_dennis @natolambert

Do you have a sense of what the difference is? The official app is functional but I definitely believe there are better possibilities

@dhadfieldmenell @natolambert @michael_dennis No idea! Haven’t tried the official app yet
