I keep switching between using Summit (recently went open source), Thunder, Jerboa and the Tesseract web UI. But mostly Jerboa. It opens the fastest. The nicest looking one is Thunder.

Locking for rule 5.

oh no! wasn't bluesky decentralized and federated?!? how is this possible?!? /s

If you want a bit more detail, look at my edit. The functions to calculate the hot and scaled for content is now there.

No, it is not weird. Scaled, according to the docs, is like Hot, but less active communities' posts get a boost.

Edit: here's a bit more detail

The exact function to calculate the scaled rank is this one:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION scaled_rank (score numeric, published timestamp with time zone, users_active_month numeric)
    RETURNS float
    AS $$
BEGIN
    -- Add 2 to avoid divide by zero errors
    -- Default for score = 1, active users = 1, and now, is (0.1728 / log(2 + 1)) = 0.3621
    -- There may need to be a scale factor multiplied to users_active_month, to make
    -- the log curve less pronounced. This can be tuned in the future.
    RETURN (hot_rank (score, published) / log(2 + users_active_month));
END;

The hot rank is calculated like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION hot_rank (score numeric, published timestamp without time zone)
    RETURNS integer
    AS $$
BEGIN
    -- hours_diff:=EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (timezone('utc',now()) - published))/3600
    RETURN floor(10000 * log(greatest (1, score + 3)) / power(((EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (timezone('utc', now()) - published)) / 3600) + 2), 1.8))::integer;
END;

Is it me or does Soyjak use Windows?

Frankly, I don't like dansup and his cocky behaviour. But if Sup ever does become reality, then it will be a real alternative. And no, Loops is not federated.

Rust can be a pain in the ass when you are writing the code, but once you wrap your head around its concepts, the pain will ease and you'll appreciate them.

yes

Sup is one. It's from the dev of Pixelfed. Unlike the other non-fediverse platforms the others mentioned here (XMPP and Matrix), it will use the ActivityPub protocol and will be E2EE.
