@DazRunner@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social I'm not actually sure what point you are making when you say "I want the community to be my algorithm." You can choose who to follow for your personal feed, and in addition Trending will show you the more popular posts, and Live Feeds gives you the options of seeing your server's posts, or posts on other servers.

@HollieK72 @lisamelton Thanks, Hollie. I'm a noob so i'll learn as i go. ;-) There's a dichotomy here IMO. Part of being in a community means you surrender some control and allow that community to make some decisions on your behalf. For the greater good. Segmenting users into filter bubbles algorithmically on SM has had a negative impact on society. And is a tool of manipulation. How about a feed filter though? Eg. Only show posts on my feed that have received some engagement etc.
