What is MY FEEDS in BLUESKY app? How to use your own algorithm?

The BlueSky app has recently launched a unique feature called "My Feeds". But what is it exactly and how can it be useful for its users?

If you are a BlueSky user, you can easily find the My Feeds tab on the app's homepage. By clicking on it, you will be directed to a new page where you can edit your feeds. My Feeds is a trending feature that allows users to build custom algorithms with coding expertise, and the app provides a guide for more information on how to use it.

The idea behind My Feeds is that it enables the user to select their own algorithm. By default, the app offers two pins feeds that a user can choose from - What's hot and What's hot classic by BlueSky app, and BlueSky team feed - posts from members of the BlueSky team. However, it also allows the user to remove feeds popular with their friends if they wish.

My Feeds feature is essentially a Github repository based on AT protocol. It provides custom algorithms to users through AT protocols, which are services that work very simply. The requesting server receives a list of posts (URLs) with some optional matter that is attached to it. The posts are then made available to the user in full.

The process of providing a custom algorithm to a user involves two steps. Firstly, the user requests a feed from their server, followed by implementing indexing logic in Source subscription typescript that subscribes to the rapper subscriptions stream on startup parts events and indexes them according to the provided logic. The second step involves implementing feed generation logic in algos and then publishing your feed.

To get started with creating your own algorithm, you first need coding experience. However, once you have set it up, you can edit variables and run your program. You can also try out some examples, some of which are optional. To start the server, just type in 'yarn start.'

In summary, My Feeds is a cool feature that enables BlueSky app users to create their own algorithms. It is easy to use, and the app provides a guide for those who wish to experiment with it. If you are interested in building your own algorithm and getting more out of your BlueSky experience, check out My Feeds today.
