Can we create and use social networking algorithms on the Fediverse that serve our own personal goals, such as more and deeper personal relationships, career advancement, and more participative citizenship?
@evan I want algorithm like old school art platform features+its algorithm (DeviantArt, Pixiv, etc).
Sort by newest or popularity are never a viable solution for art community.
I remember seeing my DeviantArt feed, and discovering sketch, photography, cosplay, calligraphy, origami, in one place. Some recommendations are literally 8 years old post.
Without that system, art community will turn into trend chasing, maximalizing for engagement instead of personal uniqueness. This already happens on Twitter, Bluesky, and Instagram.
Even if Pixelfed had the algorithm, it is not a solution, as it was never meant to accomodate variation of post like proper art platform.
