I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/16102424

Hi all,

Quiblr now has personalized post feeds for Lemmy!

I haven't seen a "recommended feed" feature anywhere else in the fediverse but I thought I would take a crack at building it!

My goal was to make a privacy-focused recommendation engine that tailors your experience based on the content you interact with. None of the data leaves your device. You don't even need to log in for it to work

  • You can turn it off or tune your feed in the settings
  • Each post now also includes a show me more/less button

I would LOVE feedback from folks if you get a chance to try it out!

This was really fun to build so let me know if there are any questions!

PS: Let me know if someone else has built this feature for the fediverse - then I will change the title to not claim "the first" lol

  • Is it just a front-end or are there backend changes?

    I like it for the most part. I dislike that you can't find the real URL of anything though

    • All front-end.

      And thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate what you mean by "can't find the real URL of anything"?

      • So I opened the link and was scrolling through the front page and eventually saw a community that I'd never seen before, so I wanted to take a look. I opened it and couldn't see what instance it was hosted on. When I tried to share it to myself, it still wouldn't give me the original instance URL. I found that super frustrating.

        • Gotcha. That should be an easy addition. I'll see if I can push an update tonight!

          Edit: I noted this in a separate comment, but I added the instance info to the communities page + the original post url to the Post Details page (via the 3 dot ellipses)

        • I pushed an update to Quiblr. I added the instance detail to the Communities page. Additionally, the vertical 3 dot ellipses on each post has an option called Post Detail >> I added the original post url here

          Let me know if you have any additional feedback!
