Re: ""All Posts" now groups posts by subspace"
An algorithmically created feed. Hmm…

@michaelnordmeyer By that definition, every feed is an algorithmically creted feed. All software are algorithms.

@skyjake I quite like this idea. It's a nice balance between not cluttering the homepage and yet not curating the homepage either.
@michaelnordmeyer This is the most neutral solution that I came up with, given the problem at hand. It keeps the feed chronological and doesn't hide the fact that some posts are currently omitted due to belonging to a group.
What is still missing here is that the "(+n other posts)" link should go to a mini-index of the grouped posts and not directly to the subspace index. You can of course manually spot the grouped posts if you go looking by post times, but this would improve usability.
The Gemini/Atom feeds are unaffected by the rotation.
"All Posts" now groups posts by subspace — I'm experimenting with something new: to keep All Posts more balanced, I am now grouping posts from each subspace and only one of the grouped posts is visible per each day of posting. Every 15 minutes, the visible post rotates in each grouping. As an example, if someone makes 10 posts on one day in their userspace, only one of them will be shown at a time in All Posts. Throughout the day, which one of the 10 is shown keeps changing. This new rotation...
