The #fediverse needs to come to terms with one thing: on content platforms, chronological ordering is probably good for your subscription feeds, but for the #discovery feed the average user actually WANTS an #algorithm.
Instead of kicking your feet in anger, release your anxiety and think for one moment.
Wouldn't it be better to formalize #discovery algorithms as #opensource? To create programmable interfaces server side so that the user can define their algorithm client side?
