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

Are you tired of scrolling through your social media feeds, only to find irrelevant content? If so, Bluesky's My Feeds feature might be the solution you've been searching for. Let's dive into what My Feeds is and how you can use it to create your own algorithm.

My Feeds is a recently released trending feature on the Bluesky app. It allows users to build custom algorithms, so they only see content that's relevant to them. The best part? You don't need any coding expertise to create your own custom algorithm.

To edit your feeds, simply click the My Feeds tab located in the top navigation menu of the app. From there, go to the top right corner of your screen, and click on edit feeds. This will allow you to select which feeds you want to see. You can choose from popular feeds like "what's hot" and "what's hot classic," and you can also select feeds from the Blue Sky team and members. Additionally, if you want to remove any feeds from your list, simply click on the "popular with friends" section.

My Feeds is based on an AT protocol. It's a Github repository that provides custom algorithms to users through the AT protocols. Once the server receives a request from a user, it sends back a list of posts with some optional matter attached to them. These posts are then hydrated in full use by the requesting server and sent back to the client.

If you want to create your own custom algorithm, there are a few steps you'll need to follow. First, you'll need to implement indexing logic in the source subscription type script. This script will subscribe to the rapper subscriptions stream on startup events and index them according to your provided logic. Second, you'll need to implement feed generation logic in algos. Finally, after installing dependencies, you'll be able to run the server.

While implementing these steps might require some coding experience, Bluesky has provided some examples to help you get started. The general flow of providing a custom algorithm to a user is as follows: a user requests a feed from their server, and the server sends back custom content based on the algorithm you created.

In conclusion, My Feeds is a cool new feature on the Bluesky app that allows users to create their own custom algorithm. Give it a try if you're tired of scrolling through irrelevant content on your social media feeds!
