I mean if you’re buying the apple version sold on their website a 5x market value instead of an off brand one that’s on you.

the bottleneck to peertube seems to be populating and having more viewers, not hosting costs.

Yeah since there is little content I can’t tell if there is an algorithm or not.

Edit; I tried posting myself to see and the “feed” is a “new” feed of posts by everyone. So no sort of algorithm at all or any customisation available atleast on the ios app, as of now.

not having it be littered by bigots and have an add every 4 scrolls, along with better privacy, is probably the reason why.

FYI a lot of people on Lemmy use the fact Jack Dorsey was involved in Bluesky as a way to attack it, but that’s not super accurate.

He completely left bluesky a year ago and even deleted his account, he has no involvement with it whatsoever anymore.

Bsky has 20 million users, which is great, basically doubled in a month, but twitter has hundreds of millions of users. We talking a different order of magnitude.

When do you start counting it as an algoritm.

The current sorts (except new) are based on formulas, does suddenly adding a personal engagement variable into the formula make it an algorithm?

That’s what I do. As I mentioned in the example in my post.

So almost forum like?

I mentioned scaled sort in my post. Yes it boosts communities with less activity (in practice this tends to be midsized communities as I mentioned in my post), but it does so generally. What my post is advocating for is a sort that boosts the communities you tend to engage with a lot, not every community that is less active.

This wikipedia page is true gold lol:
