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 can’t go into too much detail, I was working for a recognisable company who was dabbling in the Fediverse with a heavy lean towards empowering the users.

    This was high on my list of demands. Along with fine grain controls for what metrics you opt into and what notifications you receive.

    Project got gutted early this year.

      Hmm that sounded a bit sus to me. I would highly suggest you not to work for unethical companies, mister/miss

        Hate to tell you this, but most companies are varying degrees of unethical. If you write them all off you’d never have a job.

          Nah, if you’re patient and good at what you do, you can find work for an ethical org.

          But it helps not having kids to feed

          Your decisions are your decisions. My job is to promote ethics and to interrupt the work of unethical companies. Being ignorant and working for evil companies just for convenience is not good imo
