Restore 3.x username suggestion behavior #1272

Closed a-dows closed 1 year ago

a-dows commented 1 year ago

Pitch

Since updating to v4.0.2+hometown-1.1.0, the web interface's suggested usernames to tag in a post (shown when typing the @ character and waiting) appear to weight follower count, rather than followers/accounts you follow first.

The original sorting should be restored.

Motivation

Accounts you follow are far more likely to be tagged or interacted in a new post than a random high-follower-count account.
