What it is, and what it do!? First post on Little Fedi. Let's see what we can break so we can file bug reports!

@fiend_unpleasant welcome!

@stefano Thanks for the welcome and the cool software. I do have one question... the catch up feed, is that an "A.I." feature or am I just being triggered by the icon?

@fiend_unpleasant no AI features here. Good old deterministic computing.
It's a simple algo that will consider the people you follow. At the end of the page, there's a complete explanation:

Why am I seeing these posts?
Each post scores on signals this instance already holds, and the score halves as the post ages. Nothing is fetched from anywhere else, and nothing learns from what you open:

+2.5
per account you follow who boosted it
+1.0
× log of the favourites seen from here
+0.8
× log of the boosts seen from here
+0.6
× log of the replies seen from here
+1.2
you favourited, boosted or replied to this author in the last month
+1.0
carries a hashtag you follow
+0.8
continues a conversation you took part in
-1.0
the post is a reply
12h
the score halves for every this many hours since the post reached your feed
Your own posts, and anything you already favourited, bookmarked, boosted or replied to, are left out. At most two posts per author. Twenty entries, then the page ends: there is nothing more to scroll.

Your blocks, mutes and filters apply exactly as on every other timeline.
