skygaze

Presenting you 2 new experimental feeds. Both are similar and will slowly adjust their content based on your likes: - "My Galaxy+" should provide wider reach - "My Nebula+" should be more cozy and more responsive to your likes Feedback is very much appreciated. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hey everyone! For You is now under Bluesky’s stewardship and will serve the same posts as Discover. We're so grateful to the Bluesky team and all of you for shaping the For You feed. Our team will move on to other projects, and we’ll continue to cheer on atproto and Bluesky as supporters

Some fun projects that came out of the hackathon at YC that @skygaze.io hosted today: Stop-tox summons @paritoshk.bsky.social the friendly bot

Devs in SF: Bluesky 🦋 is hosting a hackathon with @skygaze.io this Sunday. We have easy starter kits where you can deploy new feeds, bots, social graph analysis, etc. in one day. Would love to see some of y’all there: partiful.com/e/AiscT5PsNT...

Bluesky hackathon coming up in SF on the 25th 🥳

okay I've been using this feed for all of 5 minutes now and it's already a game changer. everyone grab this and pin it if you want your timeline to start feeling more alive.

The For You feed 👥 Identifies your communities 🥰 Learns what you like 🔀 Balances post authors There's always something new 👇

You can now sign up for Bluesky without an invite! 🎉 bsky.social/about/blog/0...

We are officially open to the world! Bye bye invites 👋 techcrunch.com/2024/02/06/b...

Building a great social experience isn't just eng—there are tons of nuanced, non-tech decisions—but the eng is necessary (and very hard). The beauty of at proto is it abstracts away a lot of the eng work so people _can_ focus on the hard non-eng work

|| || /) /) || ( •.• ) pssst. Welcome to For You! || ⊂ﾉ ||

Update to this batch of communities: No more "Global content sharers" or "Users and posters on Bluesky" lol. We decided those were unlikely to give good, personalized signal for your feed

What accounts do you see most on your For You?

We recently ran the community detection script and pushed a new set of communities 👀 post !foryou to see your top assignments

👇🙏

so true

Please share your thoughts on this!👇

Introducing For You v1 👥 Identifies your communities 🥰 Learns what you like 🔀 Balances post authors There's always something new 👇

Given the great response for the !foryou bot, we're building more tools for you to understand and *control* your algorithm What kind of control do you want? 👇

We're so back

For You is currently down. Investigating

Check this out, y'all. I think this update does improve the feed. It's the first algorithmic timeline (here) that does the things I most want an algorithm to do.

✨ For You: Specific Interests Update ✨ • More posts that are uniquely popular in your communities • More from friends you have a history of interacting with • Eliminates posts you really don't want to see Let us know what you think!

The !foryou bot is currently down due to high traffic- working on a fix

We just had our largest ever spike in traffic 🤯 which made the feed very slow for a few minutes. Should be good now 🥳

!foryou

Today we’re making our first step toward algorithmic transparency. Post “!foryou” to see inside your algorithm

People often tell us the people/content they want isn’t on Bluesky yet…. But actually their problem is the feed they’re using! For You learns what you like. Try it! bsky.app/profile/did:...

do you subscribe to the For You custom feed and have opinions to share? the third-party devs behind the feed are hosting a zoom for the next 4 hours to hear your thoughts! ⬇️

What would make your feed better?

We had a big influx of usage that we weren’t prepared for, but just upgraded our database and latency is getting back to normal 🙂

Experiencing significant refresh latency- investigating

Big patch to the feed just shipped- should experience significantly better post relevance + author diversity than the last 3 days

i have no idea what this new feed by @skygaze.io is about at all but its initial custom feed for me includes faine, jake, guy gavriel kay, and my congressman so it is definitely working whatever they are doing keep up the good work skygaze

just pinned For You, a personalized custom feed by @skygaze.io (some amazing third-party devs)! I Contain Multitudes™ so i love a good algorithmic feed that combines all my different interests & communities if you check it out, let @skygaze.io know what you think :) bsky.app/profile/did:...

When I came to poliscy I missed a personalized feed that would show posts that are trending in my communities and among the people I follow. This feed comes close to doing this (and is still being improved). My #1 feed atm. Nice!
