Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been obsessed with the x-algorithm repo since it went public. It’s crazy that we have the actual source code for the feed, yet we’re still guessing why certain posts fly and others flop. I got tired of reading "guru" threads speculating on how the algorithm works. The code is right there! I realized that HomeMixerServer distinguishes between "In-Network" and "Out-of-Network" content, but the UI flattens everything. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in my own timeline. This started as a simple hack to badge "Thunder" (organic) vs. "Phoenix" (AI) posts for myself. But as I dug into the WeightedScorer logic, I realized this wasn't just about consumption. it was a cheat sheet for creation. That’s when I added the Viral Composer. I realized I could check my own drafts against the actual math (like the video_duration bonus or diversity penalties) before hitting post. It’s been a fun deep dive into the DOM and the open-source logic. I’d love to hear what patterns you spot in your feeds once you turn the "Inspector" on! 🟢🟣 Let me know what you think. – Deepwalker
