    Some rudimentary algorithm that curates the posts somehow in a more exciting way than strict chronological order

      Define “curate” and “exciting”? How would you want them sorted?

      I mean, there’s sorting by “hot” which takes comments and votes into account, but beyond that I’d very much prefer all the algorithm fuckery to stay well clear of the fediverse, because it inevitably leads to everything going to shit. It invites “gaming the system”, and before you know it your entire feed is full of ads, bots and iNfLuEnCeRs.

      So, anyway, Hot might be exciting. ;)
