Microblogging Hot

Whats the state of #algorithms on #Mastodon? I mean for the feed. I understand that algorithms based on engagement are problematic, but scaling posts based on posting frequency could help me not have a feed where some people are drowned out by frequent posters…

I found that when I was preparing to leave Twitter, the native archive feature was totally broken, so I published my personal solution since the old scrapers died with last year’s api changes: (though you’ll need to be comfortable pasting a couple commands into your terminal if you want to try it)...
