Hey Fedi!
We ARE the algorithm. But that also means it can take a little extra work to get the feed that works for you.

How do YOU 🫵 curate your feed? How do you use lists?

Here's my algorithm:
Someone posts something cool? Follow 'em.
Someone posts something EXTREMELY COOL (or I've seen their cool content before)?
They get added to my ⭐️ Faves list.

Then, in the Advanced Web Interface (Ala Tweetdeck, see 2nd link below), I've got:

1. ⭐️ Faves. 🔘Hide these posts from Home. Also, show me replies IF someone it's a reply to someone else also in my Faves list.

2. 🏠 Home: folk I follow who aren't in ⭐️ Faves

3.👋 # introduction (to welcome, follow, and boost interesting new folk!)

As always, don't sleep on @FediTips 's excellent guides; here's the one on using Lists:
