Can you personalize your own ranking algo that can be shared with friends? That's the breakthrough we're all waiting for...
Not that I know of, but you could make a feature request if one doesn't already exist https://github.com/joinLoops
That would be extremely groovy. Even just having a few flavours of algorithm that you can choose from would be really cool.
that's kinda how bluesky works with the feeds and all
I can't even zoom into the picture on mobile on this website
This is outstanding!
Not being based on "rengagement" or "monetization" means it's purely interest-based, with a touch of serendipity.
One of BSKY's distinctive features was to have "pluggable" algorithms. Fediverse would do well to support it so people who are not into the technical weeds could choose how their feed is curated.
Hoping for something like this for PeerTube and personal customisation of the algorithm.
Yeah after making an algorithm for peertube I'm gonna say this is too complicated to implement. That graphic might be the the plan and it's something more simplistic.
Making a simple cosign vector for peertube was a pain
"I failed at making something, therefore someone else could certainly not make something more complex than the thing I failed at"

Some of the comments on this and similar threads are wild. A dedicated major contributor to the fediverse as a whole, working almost entirely alone, who is solely responsible for bringing many of us to it that were looking to escape the social media capitalist hellscape via Pixelfed, creates another alternative with Loops and publishes some detail regarding how it works, and a bunch of keyboard-warrior nerds try to take it apart.
So many people contribute entirely fuck-all to fediverse platforms beyond the odd bit of content, myself included, and it always amazes me how quickly they want to tell him he's doing it wrong. So many opinions for one person producing so much, from so many people producing nothing.
You’ve expressed my feelings about it exactly. It’s very easy to criticise things that aren’t custom made to our individual preferences. But every time we do that we short circuit our capacity for reflection and empathy. I wonder if developers are so often a target of harshness and abuse because software users are used to instant gratification.
It’s a monumental job he’s doing and open sourcing it is basically a gift to the entire internet. The new features keep coming and with video being so expensive to host, it’s a very different undertaking to non-video social media.
