Is there a way to personalize your feed?
I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what's "hot" for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week.
And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.

Like a multireddit-like ability? I know that would be useful and has been highly requested. I personally would love that function.
That would be really cool too but I was thinking more like a "See first" "See top only" sort of option between different communities.
Would that not be just sorting by either local (assuming your instance has content you like) or sorting by subscribed communities only?
No, let’s say you’re subscribed to 2 communities. One is very active and the other one is not too much. In that case the popular one would always dominate the feed. But there could be an option to mark a community as “important” so you see more of it.
Exactly this. My specific issue is memes vs my city. My city gets' about a post a day where memes get's like 20-30. I really care about the 1 post per day with my city and I care enough about memes to subscribe but not enough to see all 20.
Yeah I am subbed to some of the meme communities and I find them entertaining...but the problem is they are significantly more active than other communities. When I browse my subbed feed I only see memes and almost nothing else. I don't want to unsub because I enjoy the memes, but I also want a more balanced feed.
Reddit seemed to fare better at parsing this sort of disparity.
What I’d like is a multi-Reddit to aggregate identical named communities (with manual additions/deletions…like a regular multi) across instances.
