We just reached 40 000 custom feeds on Bluesky! ๐ŸŽ‰ If you're interested in self-hosting a SkyFeed-compatible feed engine (it's open-source), send me a message and we'll get it set up! It would be great to diversify the ecosystem :) These are the 16 most-used feed generators currently on the network:

Similar to social data like posts, likes and follows, custom feeds are just records on the public network, so anyone who keeps an index/database of everything can check how many feeds there are and where they are hosted

It would be fun to see the bottom of the list. Right now most people setup feeds using one of the big feed generators. Curious to see how many active small feed generators there are.

Nice. One of them is mine with three different Norwegian language feeds. Not super many users using them, but they are there at least. It would probably have been easier to use one of the prebuilt generators , but much more fun and satisfying to build something from scratch. ๐Ÿ˜…

Isn't this rife with the "paradox of choice" problem for new users when they're onboarding? I mean, how is one supposed to pick the top 5 feeds FOR THEM based on their interests out of 40,000+ of them?
