I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what’s “hot” for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week.
And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.
I find that changing your default type to “subscribed” and default sort type to “hot” in settings does the job.
