In the screenshot you can see that there is currently one rising community overloading my post feed. I assume this is happening to many users. I understand that I can block the community but that's not really what I want. I think that this problem could be solved by introducing a mechanism to dynamically limit the number of such posts based on user preferences. For example I could set this community to appear less often and an algorithm could apply this preference to my feed order. I know that the proverbial algorithms used by major social networks are frowned upon. That happens for a good reason - they are opaque, proprietary and often show signs of bad intention. They are used for political and social influence, to silence opposing voices and a whole array of other nefarious goals like playing of people's fear, outrage, etc. The thing I'm suggesting would have to be transparent by design and fully optional. That's a social media "algorithm" I'd like to use. I'd like to hear what other people think about this idea.
Yep. But it could be seen as an advantage your app has that others don't, and different apps can try different approaches
