Latest version of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, allows for the use of multiple accounts on multiple Mastodon servers. Also fixes some #GoToSocial interoperability issues.

Latest release of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, lets you blur / hide images marked as sensitive / #NSFW, which solves the "unwanted dick pics in your feed" issue that can come up when users of one of the more "risque" fediverse servers manage to make one of their favourite hashtags trend.

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

#FediAlgo will now let you filter your feed by the server your timeline toots are originating from. You can also choose whether to color highlight hashtags you've participated in or favourited and some other fun stuff.

i think i had my first truly positive #AI experience... i asked it to write code comments that could be transformed into API documentation for #Fedialgo, and other than the part where it repeatedly and strenuously suggested deleting all the most important parts of the code, it actually did a pretty good job.

#FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, now has a "TOTAL CHAOS" preset for when you're really feeling like mixing up your timeline in addition to a way to weight toots based on the author's follower count, highlighting of hashtags based on how much you use or interact with them, and a bunch of other fund stuff.

The new version of #Fedialgo is much, much faster at loading and reordering the timeline. Also has fancy gradients to show you which hashtags in your feed are the ones trending the most and which ones you post about the most. Also a bunch of other tweaks and improvements.

You can now send replies to Toots as well as expand threads directly within the #FediAlgo demo app, no need to click through to the regular Mastodon web interface.

I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:

I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.

Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.

If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

#FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, is now deployed on Github Pages and can be used from your web browser.

The fine @michael has deployed the #FediAlgo demo app to a place where you can test out the customizable algorithm + filtering system for your home timeline with nothing more than a web browser. You can find it here:

The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.

Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse. Not really something you can do on any other social media platform I'm aware of.

I released a bunch of small bug fixes and performance improvements for #FediAlgo, the mastodon timeline feed algorithm (though unfortunately it still requires a command line to run I promise I will soon deploy it somewhere anyone can enjoy it as they can with stuff like Phanpy).

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:

1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)

2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers

All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

Continued thread

Other algorithmic feeds can be generated by the user themselves using a small self-hosted LLM. Users will be able to generate these feeds by simply speaking them into existence:

The UI will show an input field, and the user will type what sorts of posts they want to see. E.g.: "Show me posts related to information security"

Then, the server will pass every single post that goes through the server's "global timeline" through this LLM-based filter. The ones the filter approves get sent to this "algorithmic feed" (really just a list).

This technique can make the concept of hashtags (like the ones below) obsolete.

New features for #FediAlgo, the customizable #algorithm for your Mastodon timeline:

🪓 Live filtering based on #hashtag (inclusive and exclusive)

#️⃣ Seed your timeline with toots from anywhere in the Fediverse that contain trending tags (#SouthKorea and #UnitedHealth have been big lately)

🔥 Icons to inform you whether a toot is from an account you follow, a hashtag you follow, or is trending (and if so, why it's trending)

⚖️ Weight based on retoots, replies, age, etc.

国 Filter on language

I kind of find it hard to look at Mastodon without it at this point. The installable demo can be found here: github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/f

Also available as a NodeJS package built on #Masto.
Here's a video of the demo app:
