Hey there,
Does anyone how hard it would be to implement something like the title? A local post recommendation algorithm that would try to estimate which communities are my favourites based on my post interractions and maybe the time spent staring at a post?
I find myself often having to manually check out the smaller communities that I am joined in because they get drowned by the much larger very active communities. Or maybe even just the ability to set favourite communities to show in priority over some other communities that I am subscribed to
I guess this could also be a kind of proxy, but I think it would be more acceptable to people if it is a local algorithm instead of one running on some random person’s server somewhere in the world.
You must log in or register to comment.
Voyager (formally Wefwef) is doing this. You can favorite communities and it will push them to the top. It’s been useful for monitoring smaller communities.
Oh cool. I noticed the stars in the community section. Didn’t realize this is what it does.
Gonna start using it from now on.
As long as it’s optional.
I am so sick of algorithmic crap it’s not even funny. As long as I can turn it off, then by all means, develop away.
Yeah. Algorithms!
But I agree, something tracks your interactions with different communities.
Or, manually ‘voting’ on a community, which is only for you, but does a multiplier on ‘attractiveness’ of the post.
You can iteratively make communities more or less prominent by slowly increasing/decreasing their multiplier.
