Latest release of #FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, lets you blur / hide images marked as sensitive / #NSFW, which solves the "unwanted dick pics in your feed" issue that can come up when users of one of the more "risque" fediverse servers manage to make one of their favourite hashtags trend.

new release of #Fedialgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, counts the number of times each hashtag appears in your timeline even if people don't use a "#" character to give you a better sense of what people are talking about in the Fediverse.

there's a little bit of art vs. science here because some strings are disqualified from this kind of counting (e.g. a word like "the" should not be counted even if some maniac decided to make it a hashtag) so let me know if you see any weirdly high counts.

#FediAlgo will now let you filter your feed by the server your timeline toots are originating from. You can also choose whether to color highlight hashtags you've participated in or favourited and some other fun stuff.

#FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, now has a "TOTAL CHAOS" preset for when you're really feeling like mixing up your timeline in addition to a way to weight toots based on the author's follower count, highlighting of hashtags based on how much you use or interact with them, and a bunch of other fund stuff.

The new version of #Fedialgo is much, much faster at loading and reordering the timeline. Also has fancy gradients to show you which hashtags in your feed are the ones trending the most and which ones you post about the most. Also a bunch of other tweaks and improvements.

You can now send replies to Toots as well as expand threads directly within the #FediAlgo demo app, no need to click through to the regular Mastodon web interface.

I have posted about this before, but wanted to re-iterate how much in love I am with FediAlgo:

I’m currently on paternity leave so have around half an hour per day for social. That is of course far from enough to keep up with a chronological timeline like mine, and previously with Mastodon the FOMO was real.

Now I go to FediAlgo and I feel I got an overview over what’s interesting in that day. It’s also immensely customisable, but the defaults do a decent job for me.

If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it out. You can try it out on my personal playground at fedialgo.thms.uk or on the maintainer’s official website at michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/fe

Thanks @cryptadamist for the work you put into this!

#FediAlgo, the customizable timeline algorithm / filtering system for your Mastodon feed, is now deployed on Github Pages and can be used from your web browser.

Savez vous si il existe une application #android dans le #Fediverse pour #mastodon qui permet de voir le compte d'une personne même quand un filtre s'applique sur son pouet ?

Parce que ça m'arrive pas mal de fois de vouloir voir ce qu'en pense certains de mes abonnements ou exclure ce qui me vient par #hastag

Je peux le faire sur le web avec mon instance mais par exemple. Et aussi pouvoir replier le masque ... @FediTips

The fine @michael has deployed the #FediAlgo demo app to a place where you can test out the customizable algorithm + filtering system for your home timeline with nothing more than a web browser. You can find it here:

The FediAlgo hashtag filter section now highlights any hashtags you've posted about recently.

Interestingly the most I've used the app the more I've found feed filtering gets a ton of mileage for me. It's a huge change of pace to be able to instantly flip between whatever people are talking about on the Fediverse. Not really something you can do on any other social media platform I'm aware of.

New release of #FediAlgo (customizable #algorithm for your #Mastodon timeline) has a couple of cool features:

1. Configuration presets (so you can easily put discussions or trending toots at the top of your #timeline without fiddling with the individual settings)

2. A "What's Trending" section that will show you the top trending hashtags, links, and posts scraped from 30 or so of the most popular Mastodon servers

All the old features like filtering for particular languages / hashtags / users or a minimum number of replies / boosts / etc. are still there.

../re-reference it in a future post again.

As we are experiencing a growing number of countries (e.g. China, North Korea, Russia, the US,...) with an Orwellian tendency to #RewriteHistory and the present, a distributed storage of information will become paramount to fight against #Authoritarianism.

What is really missing for content creators like me is...

a) a tool to effectively and efficiently download and store all posts, including replies in convos, locally.

b) A browser able to portray the threads/convos like #Fedilab does, including a performing search for

aa) hashtags (=keywords) and

bb) full text, as well as a (deep) hyperlink back to the instance where it was originally stored, so as to be able to...

New features for #FediAlgo, the customizable #algorithm for your Mastodon timeline:

🪓 Live filtering based on #hashtag (inclusive and exclusive)

#️⃣ Seed your timeline with toots from anywhere in the Fediverse that contain trending tags (#SouthKorea and #UnitedHealth have been big lately)

🔥 Icons to inform you whether a toot is from an account you follow, a hashtag you follow, or is trending (and if so, why it's trending)

⚖️ Weight based on retoots, replies, age, etc.

国 Filter on language

I kind of find it hard to look at Mastodon without it at this point. The installable demo can be found here: github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/f

Also available as a NodeJS package built on #Masto.
Here's a video of the demo app:

Cleaned up my Following list and got rid of 50+ inactive accounts. 🥴 Most of them seem to have just stopped posting months ago or were never active for long to begin with, then there were a few where moving accounts didn't quite go through properly, and others I simply wasn't interested anymore.

I wonder if someone has looked into building a tool for such *clean-ups*, checking when the account was last active, if the person moved elsewhere, and so on. 🤔 #FediTools #MastodonTools
