I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what’s “hot” for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week.
And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.

Not yet but the fediverse is an open protocol and standard. Just like email, http, and html have evolved over the years, so can and will the fediverse. If it’s technically possible it can happen.
To differentiate from people who are talking about multireddits, because what I think you’re really after is an open content algorithm. The answer is not yet but I think it’s only a matter of time. This is the real killer feature of the fediverse that hasn’t been talked about yet.
It would be good, but I’m not sure if the expected Multireddit-style behaviour will ever appear on the threadiverse - at least not in the way I use them (I don’t subscribe to any sub in a multireddit) - for the same reason that Lists are limited in value on Mastodon: there appears to be a “safety and privacy” policy in place that prevents you from adding accounts to a List that you’re not subscribed to.
The only reason I use them is to remove their noise from my feed/timeline. Looking at you, Cory Doctorow… 👀
Maybe it will change, or maybe it will be different here (threadiverse) compared to Mastodon. I guess we’ll see.
You may have meant to reply to a different comment. I am specifically not talking about multireddits.
Oops, I think you’re right.
