So you are basically building a classifier that tries to assert if a user will like a video. While many are against any kind of “algorithm” within the fediverse, I believe that it’s a necessity. But, I think allowing users to tag content and then building classifiers that allow you to filter based on that would be a more aligned with the fediverse.
Anyway, cosine similarity has worked for a lot of things, so I think it’s a solid foundation to get you started. Another thing you can try is using an embedding model, specifically a model that receives a segment of a video and yields a matrix with the property that similar input will result in outputs relatively close to each other (cosine or euclidean distance).
Another thing to consider is building a platform that will permanently store data. If you can come up with a set of endpoints, I can implement something in python to get ypu started. I don’t have experience with video processing so I cannot help you with that, but the crud aspect is no biggie.

This need is probably something you can discuss with your therapist.

I ended up setting up a postal server on my vps (see here). Their docs are pretty easy to follow through and it’s probably the cheapest option (assuming you already use the and have a domain).

Lemmy is a public forum, if you want to communicate privately exchange matrix handles and communicate there.
- Comment on A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech 5 months ago:
What an interesting read! The food analogy instantly made sense to me, I am wondering if other people had the same experience?
What is the point of all this, you may wonder? Well, reading Postman provided a big eureka moment for me - an understanding of why I struggle so much to convince my friends to abandon commercial social media in favor of the Fediverse. Drum roll: the Fediverse may be missing a clear, cohesive narrative.
Technically the Fediverse has everything one would need to enjoy independent social media, away from the surveillance capitalism that powers Big Tech. What has been difficult is finding a story, a simple narrative anyone could follow that would explain WHY the Fediverse is the most empowering, most ethical technological solution out there for social media.
I have come to see the Fediverse as the equivalent of organic, plant based, home-cooked meals and by contrast I see TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, Snap and other platforms by Big Tech as the equivalent of Big Food – brands like Coca Cola, McDonalds, Nestlé, that promote ultra-processed, highly addictive foods and beverages, contributing to an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other diet-related diseases.
