    Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon

    Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)

    This is the initial reason for the invention of “The Algorithm” on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.

      It would be nice to have some kind of user controled algorythm. Maybe even running on client side for privacy.

          I know that, in my mind the algorythm or maybe better to said the algorythm’s parameters run on client side, no need to create a Fediverse instance on client side. We can already to something a bit like that with word filters.
