Is anybody working on algorithmic, engagement-led feed generation for Mastodon?

Serious question. One reason I still visit & use Twitter is: there are people in other time zones whose fediverse content is basically unseen by me, since they post at times when I’m parenting/asleep and so are buried under a chronological timeline.

Mostly they also post to Twitter which mostly automatically solves that problem for me.

I remember sometime around 2008 – or whenever it was that “information overload” was fashionable to complain about – reading a tweet from somebody saying “there is so much traffic on Twitter that I can no longer read every tweet” [presumably of people that they followed]

It would be good for Mastodon to start addressing that.
