    Is it possible we talk about different things. OP was talking about Microblogging (e.g. Mastodon). Here on lemmy/kbin that is totally different. It wouldn’t work without it. I don’t think this style would really work with microblogging though I have nothing against trying that. I was more thinking about real recommender algorithms like “Things you might like”.

      Admittedly, I spent very little time on Mastodon. But as I remember it, there is something like a ‘home feed’. And I also remember only seeing the most recent entries at the top, which is not necessarily what I would have found the most interesting. For example, I think I’d be at least equally interested in entries with engagement, where people talk about the post. Which sometimes requires some time to pass.

      You’re right I lost track about the precise topic, sorry for that.
