Would it be possible to have more algorithms? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I mean we can sort by new or hot or active etc. But can we add more algorithms that people can then choose. For example id love to be able to have an algorithm that allows me to rate communities so I could say rate a meme community 1 and a chess community 10 so I only see the best of the meme community and most of thr chess posts, since I find meme communities dominate your feed otherwise.

I for one would just like the hot algorithm to be fixed to remove the same post (not a x-post) appearing at multiple spots in the feed, and the new algorithm to actually be chronological, and not some weird hot/new hybrid.

I would like the ability to create your own algorithm and implement it.

I've heard that bluesky is attempting something like this but I'm dubious about bluesky generally. Otherwise, I think this is a killer feature of the fediverse that has really not yet materialized.

I think the actual problem here is that URL posts are linked (and combined in the feed) automatically but text posts can't be linked at all.
