If I'm not being punked right now, this is absolutely hilarious. I dare someone to write a better comedy.

It was a while ago now but yeah, I do remember that being kind of a big thing.
Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it's nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it's definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.
I wanna give both of you props for your work on these. It's pretty cool to see the community jump on things like this. I've been half considering an attempt to whip up an android app just for a personalized experience, but I'm worried I'll be too ambitions lol
A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.
It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to "neat" than "worth it" though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.
I recently made the switch and it's great. Definitely takes a bit of understanding and research to know what you're getting into, though.
