I did read your entire post. I was referring to the general idea of an algoritm based on my voting patterns as you detail here:

“My user likes X,Y,Z, after consulting public voting patterns, we can see that most users who like X,Y,Z often also like A,B,C and dislike I,J,K”

This is how Netflix, YouTube and other algorithms find stuff you like.

I have personally never been satisfied with any popular algoritm, Netflix and Youtube are specifically awful at suggestion stuff I like.

How will you personally sort 5 million post per day ?

The same way it’s handled right now, a ‘hot’ or ‘active’ sort which is objectively based on user activity.

Maybe the sorting algorithms on other websites work for you and that’s okay, I was just voicing my opinion.

Jerboa should take into account user’s voting pattern and recommend current based on what the user likes.

I would absolutely not want this. I can already curate my feed exactly how I want it with subscriptions, but when I click on All I want it to be the exact same view that everyone else gets.

On the topic of hiding seen posts, yes I think this is a pretty common suggestion/complaint of Lemmy at the moment. Part of it is that there is currently barely a fraction of activity vs. Reddit or other websites. I am curious to see how the feed changes as more people contribute.

Also related, the staleness of ‘Hot’ and ‘Active’ is actually a bug and instances can temporary fix it by restarting.
