dan @danabra.mov · 08/11/2024my main “bluesky tip” is simply — like and follow posts and people you enjoy seeing in your feed, and “show less” what you don’t enjoy. “training” Discover algorithm takes annoyingly long for now — but it does get more specific with time, and the team will be making it more responsive. data helps. 462658342 2.7K
Joyee Cheung @joyeecheung.bsky.social · 08/11/2024In the first couple of days the discover tab doesn’t make a lot of sense to me but after few days (because I post more, follow more people, and even use hashtags 🥹) it now makes a lot more sense 020 2
k. jaxs @aprivateislander.bsky.social · 08/11/2024I'm trying but I'm fighting the tide of the fan base of a certain celeb every two seconds. Her name is so common and has a verb so it's hard to mute. 😭 No hate, but they're flooding my feed. 010 1
TOM @subtlegradient.bsky.social · 08/11/2024how do I get my feed to be all AI, zig, and bleeding edge product infra shenanigans? 000 0
Sam Selikoff @samselikoff.com · 08/11/2024I think it'd be nice if "Show less like this" also automatically hid the post for me. Cleansing the feed ya know 090 9
Jaga Santagostino @jagasantagostino.com · 09/11/2024I would like if it was even more explicit, with a custom % or a slider like "show a lot more" "show a bit less" or "show a lot less". would be also nice in the Following tab 000 0
FootballScout @footballscout.bsky.social · 08/11/2024I'm here for zero politics I likethe sound of show less. And no Temu ads. 000 0
ǝuuɐſ @g.litch.art · 08/11/2024I do hope one day bluesky would expose some of the knobs and wheels to the algorithmic feeds, imagine if you could adjust how much 'political takes', lets say, you were exposed to 000 0
Fable @fablewickerbeast.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Ever since the migration my feed changed from anime and 40k with a slight bit of furry to nothing but furry fetish content(vore, inflation, glorifying obesity) and the show less button has done ZERO to remedy that. So I've resorted to blocking those accounts until the algorithm actually works 010 1
Dim_Xx @floinkybits.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Thank you for this! I was wondering how long it might take to see more of what I'm after 000 0
Duane Spooky @duanemoody.qwiffer.com · 08/11/2024"Show less" is very slow to learn and there will be times when you wonder if it does anything at all, but use it. 000 0
Simon Depelchin @simondepelchin.be · 08/11/2024Is the algorithm taking the language into account? I’m following people that post mainly in English but see a lot of French-speaking accounts in Discover.. 000 0
Cass Phoenix 🇦🇺🔥🥳🎓⛵🔥 @maven501.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Tx for the tip Dan. This is my maiden post on Bluesky☺️ So need to leave X behind ... how to get the good peeps to transfer over & generate decent sane discourse 🤔🤔 000 0
NaNdi @nandi.uk · 08/11/2024I didn't even realize there was a show less/show more option lol thank you 000 0
Claudio Cicali 🇪🇺 @caludio.social · 08/11/2024I also have an interesting "Show more like this…" in my Discover feed. Probably at this point, is worth some kind of widget for quick access. ➕ / ➖ 000 0
K. Keathley @k-keathley.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Thank you. I joined last night most of what I see are sports feeds which is fine. I love college sports etc. But I can here for the politic actually. I’m not seeing much of that. I still am not seeing much political commentary. 000 0
iagolast @iagolast.bsky.social · 08/11/2024is there any public data about the recommendation algorithm ? 170 7
Victor @vpon.me · 08/11/2024Will we have analytics? 👀 Profile visits, impressions Or it's nasty marketing stuff that comes from devil 😈 120 2
Sparky MD/PhD @neurospark.bsky.social · 08/11/2024My block threshold is low, trained from the bad place. Does the algorithm here learn from blocks or just show less? 000 0
Lex @alexyssc.bsky.social · 08/11/2024gonna keep trying, I feel like show less isn’t working for me 😭😭😭🥲 000 0
Daniel @danbotalks.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Good, but that is also very much like every other algorithm - same with the website we don't mention. People just need to realize they are in charge of what they want to see on websites, but it takes some time and effort 🙏 010 1
Nils @nilsandrey.com · 08/11/2024I would actually like to "follow post". It would be a superb feature. I imagine subscribing/unsubscribing to posts would be a nightmare for the notification system but very useful from the user perspective. Is there an indirect way to achieve it here? 000 0
dan @danabra.mov · 08/11/2024right now “show less” only works for some % of your feed, which is why it feels like it often doesn’t do anything. the signal is still useful. we’ll keep using this data to tune it so don’t hesitate to press the button. the button will get better 310712 107
Ville Saukkonen @villesau.bsky.social · 08/11/2024When I joined, I tried to mainly use "show less" as it was full of anime. That did not change anything to me. While the feed is now mostly fine for me after following plenty of people, the first experience was absolutely horrible, and it did not change by trying to see less stuff I didn't like. 060 6
tom @homocoholic.bsky.social · 08/11/2024"show less" should also automatically hide the post... and by the way, it took weeks for my discover to become somewhat acceptable, but there are still problems (:( 000 0
Matija Marohnić @silvenon.com · 08/11/2024I like how honest you are about it. I might give Discover another shot. 010 1
emskware 💙😇👩🦳 @emskware.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Thanks for the advice. Hopefully BlueSky will not treat me like a bot like Threads has. How dare I follow 51 people on Day One of my new account! 000 0
kamyil.bsky.social @kamyil.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Glad to see such attitude (finally) Big big thank you 010 1
ontouchstart.bsky.social @ontouchstart.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Thanks for this feature. I hope the backend metrics are optimized for minimizing the noise for the user instead of maximizing page views for the marketers. And thanks for not mentioning the weasel buzzword AI. 010 1
VivicorpCEO @vivicorpceo.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Show less is kinda handy because sometimes I get stuff from an account that simply isn't for me but blocking them also feels... Incorrect. Like the content isn't problematic it's just absolutely not my cup of tea 100 1
Nick Rempel @nrempel.com · 08/11/2024It takes a bit, but it does work well!media.tenor.coma little boy is holding a gun in his hand and says `` it 's '' .ALT: a little boy is holding a gun in his hand and says `` it 's '' . 000 0
lazymailman.bsky.social @lazymailman.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Still better than the other option. Which is blocking certain hateful accounts and still end up seeing the same account and much worse. 000 0
Sally 🔜 AdventureX @sirin.bsky.social · 08/11/2024My question is how is it going to determine what it is about the post I want to see more/less of? Someone posts a crap dad joke with a cat pic. I click 'see less' - is that see fewer dad jokes, or cats, or both? Someone posts a horror game trailer, I want to 'see less' horror, or game trailers? 130 3
Tahj @tahjnaar.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Mine's good now. I only see cool things. Maybe I got lucky but it didn't take too long. Or maybe I just like what most people do on here. 000 0
