I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it's not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most "engagement" as those are likely the most interesting ones.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yes, that sounds like it would probably be useful, but I hope that they are very careful with slowly adding features that change the network/social dynamics of the place.

I'm not asking them to change anything. Just wondering if there's a different existing service.

I've heard that there are some Mastodon apps that have their own algorithms, but unfortunately don't remember any details. Perhaps that would be something to look into.
