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.

Firefish (former calckey) seems to have "trends" and "activity" filters on their platform. Saw that on joinfirefish.org

Never used firefish but perhaps try there?

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

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.
