Comment on Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think

No algorithm makes social networks so annoying. Lemmy is so much annoying because of this. I always see the same stuff, aka US news and some shitposts, the usual upvoted and trending stuff
There’s no discovery algorithm and no way to see posts from smaller subscribed communities easily. Each sorting method returns non-interesting posts.

Shows uninteresting posts / trash posts containing a few words or so

People say algorithms hook you and make you dependent: they show you the stuff you want, so you stay for longer. If I didn’t want to see stuff I want, I wouldn’t go to Lemmy…

They really do. Most of these algorithms have been developed by the same people that work at casinos algorithms. Lemmy is a forum like, social media.

I’m sure they do, but I want them. It doesn’t have to be dumb content. It can make you discover and learn things while being addicting.

Somewhat yes but it also enables echo chambers

Through the Voyager phone app I sometimes use the ‘random community’ search option to make Lemmy like StumbleUpon. I dont see this random option through desktop though…maybe its a Voyager thing

Weird, I have my subscribed feeds from which I always see posts but I regularly see new stuff from subs I am not subscribed to and regularly it’s something interesting

We need open source, local running, use tunable, auditable, collectively shareable content discovery algorithm
azalty@jlai.lu 4 weeks ago
All for it, except maybe for it to run locally. An instance running it will be faster as it already has all posts and comments stored.

I want it all in a physical object in my home, that I can throw in the furnace any time. I don’t mind the extra milliseconds, I want it in my computer not someone else’s computer aka the cloud
