I recently came across a proposal to create a marketplace of sorting algorithms for Lemmy, allowing users to browse, select, and even create their own custom sorting algorithms. This would provide more advanced users with additional ways to customize and sort content, and give the community the ability to share their creations. I’m curious to know if this is actually possible within the Fediverse and what your thoughts are on the idea. Would this be a valuable addition to Lemmy, or do you see any potential drawbacks?
The main problem I see with that approach is that the dropdown with the algorithms is getting ridiculously long. Even if the algorithms are only added through GitHub there should be a way to customize which ones to show.
Use a combobox? Seems easy to solve.
