Hi all,

Quiblr now has personalized post feeds for Lemmy!

I haven’t seen a “recommended feed” feature anywhere else in the fediverse but I thought I would take a crack at building it!

My goal was to make a privacy-focused recommendation engine that tailors your experience based on the content you interact with. None of the data leaves your device. You don’t even need to log in for it to work

  • You can turn it off or tune your feed in the settings
  • Each post now also includes a show me more/less button

I would LOVE feedback from folks if you get a chance to try it out!

This was really fun to build so let me know if there are any questions!

PS: Let me know if someone else has built this feature for the fediverse - then I will change the title to not claim “the first” lol

    I dunno if this is within your wheelhouse but what I’d really like to see is a manual weighting by community.

    So, for example, if you’re mildly interested in Linux, you can give those communities a 3/10 weight and that way you’d only see the most popular content rather than having it dominate your entire feed.

    And then a gaming community 10/10 weight so you’d see every single post.

    Maybe you can combine the 2 and just make the automatic “for you” weighting visible and manually adjustable.

    Without it being open source and not providing reproducible builds, the privacy claims are borderline weightless.

      even if it’s open source, how would you verify that the instance is running that version of the software?

        Fair point. I believe I was under the impression that this was an app rather than a served webpage. I suppose one can easily verify this by looking at how the “For You” algorithm works within the browser ­— all the code for functionality would be sent to the browser; though, it could potentially be obfuscated, which might be a pain.

      This. For all we know, the app could be doing all kinds of nefarious things and we wouldn’t be able to tell.

    I have feedback completely unrelated to the recommendation engine: please consider using CSS prefers-color-scheme instead of defaulting to light mode.

    Is it opwn source? Would love to see it on mastodon and other apps
