I think it is, and niche has lost to shitposting. Also, don’t tell me what to do.

Nah it only rewards communities with few members, that means bot communities with lot of posts and almost no active users are always going to be top. That’s not the outliers sorting that I want.

1. Compute raw post score (upvotes minus downvotes).
2. Normalize score by community size (e.g., divide by square root of active users).
3. Calculate z-score relative to community mean and standard deviation.
4. Apply time decay to prioritize recent posts.
5. Sort posts by adjusted z-score.

• Outcome: Posts that significantly outperform their community norm appear prominently, giving small and large communities equal visibility potential.
• Enhancements: Minimum engagement thresholds, Bayesian shrinkage for small communities.

Saying that without showing any proof seems slanderous.

So should I ask the admin first or it’s fine if I just make my own community there and run the bot to post my RSS feed?

There is also ibbit.at !meta@ibbit.at but with that one, I guess you will have to ask for separate communities per feed and the admin does care about the type of content it would be pulling

This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, and I see the sources I wanted are already there, so there’s no need to post my own.
