I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse (lemmy.world)

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

Wow, this looks cool and useful, but since it's the first time I know about Quiblr I have to ask, what is it? I feel like it's a frontend to any lemmy instance? This fediverse world is cool but the many layers of this onion confuse me a little. I like the look and feel of the site! I think this feature of "For You" would be useful to other federated projects. In "reddit-like" projects I don't see much use because my feed on that app was from things I followed, but in things like peertube or youtube alternatives, a "recommended" page is a thing that I miss! It could be awesome if this feature could be implemented in other federated projects.

Hi, Im glad you like Quiblr! It is a frontend. It currently supports Lemmy Instances. So you can use Quiblr and browse/join any other Lemmy instance. Basically, it is the equivalent of a Reddit client

And I agree that the recommendation algorithm perhaps has a more ideal fit with other content. But I liked the idea of something new and novel by mixing Lemmy's Reddit-style with a Youtube/Instagram-style recommendation feed.

Let me know if any other questions or feedback come up!
