Maybe I've been mind controlled, but I'm used to the algorithmic feed of youtube and reddit. The default simple reverse chronological method of mastodon is hard to use for me.
I'm not interested in reading each and every post, but prefer the most sensational ones upfront..
I've tried googling but couldn't find much apart from a third party website I had to put my login creds into..
Do you guys have a better solution for this?
It exists!
https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/fedialgo_demo_app_foryoufeedNot sure if this is what you found already, you should be able to log in to your usual instance then use it in the same browser without sending anyone your credentials. Or self host if you prefer.

You are aware that the default Mastodon interface has a tab called "trending"?
(You might need to enable it first under "Preferences > Appearance > Discovery".)
is it global trending or personal feed? thanks

Different software can do this in a less privacy invasive way.
NodeBB has "popular" filters that show you what is generating discussion (per day, week, month, etc.)

Follow more ppl and hastags
doesn't that make the situation worse with a busier feed??

I searched for nodebb.. it is just forum hosting?

@ntn888@lemmy.ml yep, it's a forum you can self host.

Or join activitypub.space (but that one is geared toward fediverse developers)

it doesn't look like it's federated.. let alone linked to mastodon?

It's global trending. Which I find unfortunate, because it basically defeats a purpose of thematic servers. For example I'm on Polish server, full of people taking in Polish, but I see only global trends which are not at all in Polish 🫤

Isn't that basically a Piefed topic?

So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@_._? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.
