Da diversi anni ormai Mastodon ha introdotto una interessantissima sezione #notizie o #news.
Si tratta dei link più condivisi o contrassegnati come preferiti dai membri della vostra istanza. Un interessante indicatore quindi delle preferenze di altri utenti come voi.
La sezione news è raggiungibile a questo link:
ma a seconda della vostra distanza, potete raggiungerla digitando il link https://NOMEDELLAVOSTRAISTANZA/explore/links
Non tutte le istanze l'hanno attivata, perché potrebbe sembrare una eccessiva resa di fronte al potere degli algoritmi, Ma a differenza dei social commerciali, gli algoritmi di mastodon sono aperti e possono essere valutati da chiunque sia in grado di leggere la relativa documentazione.
Se la sezione risulta scarna è solo perché gli utenti dell'istanza sono un po' avari di ricondivisioni e stelline... 😅
