reject algorithm! literally just sort by new or only check the subs / subscribed communities tabs.
how is ai slop getting this popular
A Lemming should have enought time to throw something together in ms paint. Unless… it’s one of the Lemmings that only has GIMP installed.
I am not great spotting generated images. I just assumed that it has been a while and since nobody has said anything it was fine.

Never gave up on rss myself. It just works.
I’ve always loved the idea, but never got around to collecting sources
How is everyone finding new rss feeds?
That’s is the thing: I typically don’t find new feeds unless I specifically look for them (using web search, podcast websites etc). It leaves me the fuck alone, and I love that about RSS.
But how are the powers that be suppose to tell you what you should know and want??? /s
Well, I got chipped with Bill Gates’ COVID vaccine, so… Best of both worlds.
If I see a good article posted somewhere I’ll then check out their other articles/posts. If I like what I’m seeing I add it to my RSS feed. That’s all there is to it, and after a while you’ll find yourself with a nice long blogroll.
Figure out your interests, check web sites that are about the interests for rss feeds. You can also create rss feeds from lemmy and mastodon.
Oh hey it me
I use Feeder on my phone. It’s great
Yes Feeder on my phone and fluent on desk/laptop!
I miss when machine learning features where called an algorithm instead of ai.
Algorithmic Inferences.
Artificial impositions
I’m not the most technical person in the world so I don’t remember how these things worked. What’s the best way to organize rss?? I remember assing 'em to my igoogle homepage.
I’ve been using NetNewsWire for years, it’s been great.
i just use lemmy and sort by new :3
but rss feeds are also really cool and arguably cooler <3
lemmy has rss feeds
I asked pretty early on in one of the fediverse coms if the Hot or All sorts are personalized at all. People told me it doesn’t work like that here, that’s what the developers were trying to get away from
None of the feeds are personalized to the individual user afaik, but some of them are weighted by overall engagement, right? Like a post that gets a lot of up votes gets boosted?
yep. That’s as usual
Sort by scaled is pretty decent too.
FeedDemon gang 4 4 4 life!
Capy Reader with Fresh RSS server
I switched to this setup after I saw the drama behind ttrss. I’ve been loving both, even if it was a bit of a pain to import the OPML.

RSS is a tailored algorithm 😔
[Guy looking at butterfly]: Is this an algorithm?
threadiverse is an algorithm😔
Every algorithm is tailored. You not being able to sort an RSS feed a certain way, is a function of Admins turning off that particular algorithm.
This would be an argument only if you argued that everything is an algorithm at which point the argument would lose any meaning.
If that were the case, I could control
https://programming.dev/feeds/u/kerneltale.xml?sort=New, but since I cannot control that feed, it is tailored to whateverprogramming.devadmins and the user that operates kerneltale publishes with it.RSS isn’t as dynamic as pubsubhubbub.
Well yes it’s tailored but it is not an algorithm unless everything is an algorithm like a baking recipe.
A baking recipe is an algorithm, though. That was the example I learned in school to explain the concept of algorithms: a set of specific instructions to solve a problem in a finite number of steps. How else would you define it?
Because non technical people don’t go by that definition. When a person says algorithm they either mean this or black magic machine learned model giving results based on a massive amounts of data. Not if else statements. I’ve said at the start that either everything is an algorithm or this argument is pointless. They continued arguing, so I assumed they weren’t saying: oh yes, this floor is made out of floor.
the algorithm is chosen by the authors😔
you, haven’t experienced malicious authors, huh
Pray tell, what do you think decides what goes into the RSS output and in what way? Could it be something that selects and sorts a list of entries based on some criteria? Something like a sorting algorithm?
Yes, everything is an algorithm. A baking recipe is an algorithm because it is a list of instructions that accomplish a specific goal. What came to be known as “The Algorithm” is one specific case that uses different variables (account history, the relevance of the content, and its popularity) to maximize engagement.
