Use Twitter lists to bypass the algorithm: 1. Create a list of accounts you want to follow at https://x.com/<your_username>/lists https://x.com/<your_username>/lists 2. Bookmark your list instead of the main feed 3. Optional: Use a browser extension to auto-redirect to your list Result: A chronological feed without algorithmic interference.

That's great once you already have a list of interesting accounts you want to follow, but it doesn't solve the account discovery problem.

  Start with a trusted account (eg qntm) and add some proportion of who they retweet to the list. Do this recursively.

    That's exactly how I do it.

How many people (percentage wise) use a browser vs app on mobile? Seems like accessing via browser would be much smaller, and I'm honestly surprised that they haven't crippled its use to "encourage" the use of the app.

For the past couple weeks or months, twitter has been shuffling the order of sidebar buttons to make room for new features e.g "Premium", "Grok", "Verified Orgs" "Jobs" "Communities"... with no way of disabling this helpful 'feature' or changing the order. "Lists" is now hidden in the same submenu as settings. Way to kill my muscle memory...
