    I’ve always wanted to have a way to give users their own options to use open source algorithms or create their own, but I don’t know how doable that is, since part of it is also how content gets tagged, etc.

      i mean theoretically you could just find the sorting algorithms in the lemmy source code, add your own, and ask the instance admin to pwetty pwease apply that patch.

        Yeah, but then the admin would just need to keep adding new ones. It would be nice if it could be done client side or whatever.
