I was already feeling some type of way browsing communities, like being thrown back a couple decades to chat rooms and forums. But now, seeing users from kbin and lemmy all together, just hanging out… it feels pretty awesome.

It does feel like a breath of fresh air even in spite of the rough edges. I’m hoping it lasts and I also plan on sticking around!

I wanna give both of you props for your work on these. It’s pretty cool to see the community jump on things like this. I’ve been half considering an attempt to whip up an android app just for a personalized experience, but I’m worried I’ll be too ambitions lol

A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.

It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to “neat” than “worth it” though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.
