Jerboa works fine… except when I have to search for something. Why is ‘search’ not a ‘search post/comments’ function but a ‘search community’ one?

I switch between subscribed and all sometimes. Finding new communities is nice.

It’s true, the front page, as it stands, is awful. I have to filter out so many trump/elon crap and (for nsfw accounts) so many sexual fetishes I didn’t even know it existed. “Active” and “Hot” are infested with (sorry guys) low effort memes, and I have to click for “top 6 hours” or “top 12 hours” for something that starts looking interesting. Yes, I know the big R and other social media have the same problem, but that’s not the point.

Now, this is where the content “sorting algorithm” becomes a thing to “boost engagement”… but sure we can do better?

Personally, I would like to see more active posts from small communities or instances over most populous ones. Self-posts, even better. What if there was a user preference for frontpage sorting?

It’s the engineers doing graphic design but worse: engineers speedrunning social sciences.

I remember trying out Voat. They weren’t even hiding their love for certain words.

We should call them “freeze peach” to avoid the constant “what’s wrong with the free speech” arguments.

It’s called thinking freedom of speech means freedom to be a fucking asshole.
