[–] Noodlez@programming.dev 9 points 3 years ago (5 children) How? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Rengoku@lemmy.world 19 points 3 years ago (4 children) Well, like asking users what their preferences are and select the servers based on the criteria users have chosen? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Noodlez@programming.dev 10 points 3 years ago (3 children) Hmm actually yeah this is a good idea, but the problem is that there's so many servers that I feel that after choosing criteria there'd still be a bunch of servers in the list and the problem remains, right? Just bouncing ideas. I quite like this idea though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 7 points 3 years ago (2 children) Then the algo recommends the one with the lowest load and hides the others behind a ... icon or something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Noodlez@programming.dev 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Mm this could be a problem because server load is too unpredictable. I would actually say just randomize the list, so that it kinda does its own "load balancing" by incentivizing to pick whatever random top one it selected? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de 7 points 3 years ago* Yeah, whatever metric. Could also use a mix of number of users, some form of reputation measurement, uptime, etc. I mostly meant that the system should pick a "best server" and recommend that. Smarter people than me can come up with the best metric. But swamping the user with >100 servers to pick from is counterproductive. permalink fedilink source parent
