I agree that fediverse needs a personalized “explore” page in general. For example, this is the only plus feature of Bluesky over Mastodon (in terms of technology). It is obvious how big a difference it makes.
Blackbox echo chamber generators really should be avoided. They add to the angst and anger of the Internet, and of society.
Community search could be improved. And people should learn to actually use it, rather than being spoon fed whatever some programmer they’ve never met thinks they should eat based on the last 3 things they clicked on.
Community search could be improved.
I absolutely should NOT have to intentionally visit every single niche community that I am already subscribed too. I already did the search thing and I am already subscribed, I just never see the content because it’s being forced out of my feed by a 100 posts to “news” about how shitty Republicans are. I also shouldn’t have to unsubscribe from “news” in order to solve the problem.
A non-political example is “Science Memes” over on Xander, there are times when that community represents 99% of my feed!
The USER needs a way to control their feed, either by throttling large communities or boosting smaller ones.
Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity

What is quiblr?

I made quiblr. It’s a lemmy client that includes a For You option

This looks cool, but I would prefer to not pass my credentials to a third party, especially for features that should probably be in the default client.

I think to trying meet all of these without compromises (such as privacy and performance) is basically impossible. How would one boost engagement on positive emotions or personalize without large data mining efforts, model building, and running text classification on every comment or post?
I agree they are good aspirations.
