    This is the first I’ve heard of an alternate feed algorithm and it would be interesting to test. Has one been implemented anywhere yet?

        In regards to algorithms, I always assumed there was no budget to do the extra processing and that’s probably true for the massive machine learning R&D projects that the likes of Twitter can fund, but if people really want open source algorithmic feeds then I’m sure they can be done under some computational cost.

        I created Ecko, a fork of Mastodon, for the purpose of testing more adventurous ideas like this so created an issue based on this. Will be interesting to see if any code appears :)
