I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.

      Agreed. Bluesky-style customizable algorithms (I’ve played around with creating these myself) in conjunction with “recommended follows” curated by the instance admin would go a long way.

      Agreed, you could pick your own algorithm(s) to follow just like hashtags, maybe just a “follow this hashtag and similar engagement posts”. It might be an easier transition from the imposed monolithic algorithm God that meta/google impose if people are in control of how the app feeds them.
