Is there a fediverse software that has "trending" posts? (lemmy.ml)

I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it's not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most "engagement" as those are likely the most interesting ones.

Yeah I've used Firefish, and I do like it a lot, but have been unable to find a stable server. Plus the inability to follow hashtags is a huge drawback...

Can't you use Antennas to follow hashtags?

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dunno, can you? I don't need 12 different feeds. I don't spend that much time on there. I just use the "Home" feed.

You can. Putting, say, #Funny in your antenna will show you everything with the keyword “#Funny”. This is more powerful than just hashtag following, as you can even follow specific words.

Alas, as you mentioned, antenna content doesn’t show up in the home feed yet. I believe there is an open issue to change that.

Last time I went there, I was able to follow hashtags using that feature.

@HughJanus @Lazycog

Do you recall which Firefish servers you tried (that were having stability problems)?
