I don't know why but the TikTok algorithm never really "got me". I watch a video of say "slimes" then it gives me like 8 more videos about slimes, which I then swipe away becasue I don't really care about them that much. Then I repeat that with other topics and TikTok sort of got confused.

Fast forward some time...

Now my TikTok feed is 100% Spanish and I'm only A2-B1 in fluency.

No algorithm can handle my ADHD. One day all I watch are videos about WW2, the next its only cake recipes

It could be ADHD, but I feel it's personality trait of not liking the same thing. My spotify playlists are over 250-400 hours long because I'm not a big fan of listening to the same music over and over.

PlaylistS as there's more than one of them, measured in fortnights? What are the themes/subjects/vibes/eras and wtf? Sry, I ran out of coherent words

I think the trick is to let the kids rile up your feed sometimes.

Not for long! You’ll learn the language eventually, if TikTok is stubborn enough

I know exactly why TikTok's algorithm never got me - because I never signed up.

Technically true is the best kind of true.

What’s that mean with respect to fluency?

[–] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If I struggle I can figure out what they are saying... most of the time. But I often have to like listen to it twice to get it.

Gotcha, that's about where I am too. What are the letters you referenced though? Is there some widely used system to evaluate language skills?
