Exactly, this could also allow adding new ‘sortings’ like ‘sort by new’ or ‘sort by likes’ without having to add them to the apps/website.

As an example, the algorithm could try to highlight outstanding posts of smaller communities that otherwise might get overshadowed if simply filtering by most likes in all.

A simple bot could implement this by looking at the average range of likes in a community and then show posts that are significantly above that range.

If you are not convinced that’s a good idea, no problem you can just ignore that bot and use a different one or use none at all.

All is nice but I haven’t figured out a sorting setting I like there yet.

Sorting by new shows a lot of lower quality posts.

Sorting by most votes is dominated by bigger communities.

Using aggregator bots would allow for custom sorting without forcing it on everyone.
