So confused that skybridge is now getting all the media attention lol. Its been around for over a year and hasnt been updated for 3 months. It works fine, its just that nobody actually bothered to use it. Not really clear how 800 dollars is going to make a difference here.

Check out Phanpy.social for the Catch-up algorithm, which allows you to fully customise and sort your feed.
For a real ‘For You’ algorithm that suggests posts by people you dont follow, check out SoraSNS on iOS. That has a fully customisable algorithm where you can completely customise the topics the algo recommends, as well as how likely each topic is to be recommend.

Definitely both, but I’d probably separate the options? Think they can serve different purposes.
Example use case: blocking a NSFW instance to prevent seeing NSFW content, but if an account thats hosted on that instance would want to participate in SFW conversations on other instances that would be fine to see
Oh cool!
Sweet!
