If you have control of your instance's backend, that's definitely the better approach.
Over on AT Protocol they have a system of pluggable algorithms. You can publish info on an "algorithm" to your account's profile, and people can add your algorithm as a feed on their homepage, and then when they request their homepage their home server contacts your server and tells it a bit about them, and you send back a feed of posts.
So people can customize the post selection and share those customizations without the instance/home server admin needing to be in on it.
Hm, like a hook... should work.
Will look into this a bit more. Thanks for the tips ๐.
