There are some interesting ones that have already been mentioned here. But just be aware that they're ghost towns, when compared to the networks they'd be leaving. Their fav creators probably aren't on them, and neither are most of their friends or family.
They have a chicken and egg problem where people aren't on them because people aren't yet on them.
Nice try, FBI. You already have all my info.
I'd love to see the list of communities followed by each of the people who downvoted me. I have some pretty strong suspicions about what they'd look like.
If I understand correctly, that only works with data publicly available (or at least available to 3rd party instances). But there are going to be metrics that fediverse platforms simply don't make public or even track.
for example: i dont imagine that peertube (or even loops) makes public who viewed which videos, when, for how long. and it'd be a huge privacy issue if they did. Even tracking things like who-liked-what are the kinds of things that a 3rd party probably shouldn't be able to just check.
without these kinds of insights, it'd be hard to make a good recommendation algorithm, because you can't really tell how an individual is interacting with content.
I was mistaken, it was not opensourced - there was a whitepaper on a recommendation system from tiktok's parent company bytedance, and everyone just assumed it was the tiktok recommendation algorithm when it was published.
Let me rephrase, then:
I'm surprised that any woman would want something enough that they'd be willing to endure pregnancy.
Tiktok exposes me to all kinds of viewpoints I'd never have even thought to search for.
Lemmy is a circle jerk by comparison.
When you say "build your own algorithm" what you really mean is "decide who is allowed in my echo chamber, and what is the sort order of the content from those people". You can do that on Tiktok too, it's called the "following" feed, smh.
But elitist Lemmy neckbeards are never willing to hear that they're not actually special
Not with their onboarding.
(Also, familiarity is a kind of UX lubricant, all on its own)
When you sort your feed by hot vs top vs new, that's already what you're doing kinda.
But the platform has to have the data to support the algorithm, so you can't just "load in" whatever algorithm you want. Besides, that sounds like a security nightmare for the platform lol
Did someone call for me???
Fwiw Tiktok apparently just open sourced their algorithm a week or so ago.
I wonder if loops will provide it as an option
Plus you breathe more while you're exercising anyways
