This is new. Is it built into a recent Mastodon upgrade? What triggers it, or with what frequency does it automatically appear? How are the users chosen to appear in the list?

It's a good addition, whatever the answers to those questions.

@thomasfuchs - When somebody can feed everything we know about physics and engineering into a computer, and that computer then generates a novel, reliable, and energy- and cost-efficient fusion reactor, then I think we will have achieved useful #AI.

@jamonbull @roadriverrail @anildash @normis It seems reasonable to assume that Threads' version of interoperability will be one-way, in an effort to increase Threads' user base at the expense of other fediverse instances. A reasonable counter is for fediverse admins and users to block Threads until interoperability is fully two-way.

@Gargron @JProl - How is similarity quantified for the similar_to_recently_followed algorithm?
