   I’m going to say this again: I really like @mammoth’s recommendation feed ”For you” and its smart and healthy recommendations algorithm that brings up things I like to see without any monetary gain. Not all algorithms are evil, they help the user at best, when they are opt-in.

   I have discovered a lot of new follows and it really makes a change in my way of using the Fediverse. We should really consider something like this as a standard, opt-in, as a choice. It kinda already is because we have Mammoth, but only for limited scope of users (iPhone only).

   Good job, Team Mammoth!

     @rolle @mammoth 🙏algorithms allow us to bring order and structure to what would otherwise be overload. As mastodon grows it will become more important to have good algos that serve the user. That said, the mammoth for you feed is mostly built around smart lists, which are curated lists around a specific topic. The algo part is that we apply a minimum engagement threshold on each smart list when we merge it into For You.
