      Yeah good question, also it would be nice to have like a disinterested button so I could hide items instead of being shown them over and over again. I do tend to go to my all or local page and sort by top for the last 12 hours to get a better mix

        Most apps let you automatically hide posts you’ve looked at previously. I’m not sure if you just need to scroll by or if you need to actively engage with it, but it’s there if you want that

          Lemmy on Voyager has an option to ride read posts but by “read” you either have to click on it or up/downvote.

          Edit: HIDE read posts.

            Boost has an option to mark posts as read when scrolled past.

            I would suggest that judicious use of the block function is more effective, though. It’s the same handful of users who consistently are the proverbial firehoses spraying all that shit-tier content into the fediverse.

            Block them one by one and in no time at all your feed will clean up. More quality per scroll in the long run.

              Agreed. I block people who spam the same articles in tons of questionably related instances.

      I’d imagine it’s upvotes and time based, which to me sounds like an algorithm. I recognize it as a better and more fair algorithm but idk how it would be argued in court as being different. But I would love to learn with you.
