Comment on We need a new Explore-Feed (similar to Mastodon), which consolidates the All- and Local-Feed

  I’m not entirely sure what they meant. There are three settings: All, Subscribed, Local. Instance owners have to choose which is the default for their instance. Neither is “pushing” anything.

  For themed instances, it makes sense to emphasize their local feed. For generic instances, not so much. Either way, users can choose another setting anytime, or even set their own default.

    I’m basically just suggesting a feed that takes the Local and All feed, and merges it 50/50. Meaning you have the posts in the order in which you would normally see them but its not like first a Local post, then an All post, then the next Local post but a bit more shaked up.

      I see, thanks. Presented this way, I like the idea much more. I generally like the idea to customize my own feed. So I’d like to take it a step further: Let me choose the numbers. 50/50 seems like a good predefined starting point though.

      Also I wouldn’t stop there but include Subscribed. So while your settings might be 0/50/50 for Subscribed/Local/All, mine would be 70/20/10, and the next guy could choose something entirely different.

      Similarly, I’d like to control how much weight small communities get in these feeds. And I’d like to say “whenever something is posted to this specific community, show it to me! No matter how much other interesting content there is from other communities.”
