A new update is out now for Best-o-Masto, my free Mastodon app, which brings a new feature: hidden gems!

Hidden gems tries to surface the interesting posts from your feed that maybe didn't get as many likes/boosts are the "best posts" section.

This is powered by Gemini with a bring-your-own-key model, and is totally optional, so you don't need to use it if you don't want it.
