I was always curious captain, what’s in the algo? I think there’s a bit of GMs in there. What else?

a little bit of everything, really. are you interested in how the algorithm works?

Was just browsing nostrudel to see who has me muted, and was surprised to see Captain muted me. Must be a bug, surely!

👀

I catch a stray mute sometimes, for wrong-engagement 🤷‍♂️

mutes are potentially a powerful signal for feed algos on nostr because almost everyone has a mute list and a follow list. that's why I'm focusing on those for now, putting my work with named people sets on hold

Is it subject based? Or does it attribute points to certain type of notes?

it just tallies up points, and points come from interactions within your network

Ah so a like, a zap or a comment gets a point?

I have avoided loading zap receipts to simplify developing my prototypes. reactions, reposts, quote posts, and replies get a point

And what’s the threshold for the note to show up on your feed? Is there a minimum amount of points?

that's adjustable, but it can be as low as one, and that still filters down what you would normally see in a relay's global feed

Do you find you u see more positive interactions? ie npubs being nice to each other or not really?

well, I've only been using it in The Forest relay, which is a pretty friendly place, but I would imagine that this algo would not suppress outrage

The forest, isn’t that laesarin’s relay? So you can use your algo on someone else’s relay?

this algo is meant to improve on Jumble's single relay feed. I've been pointing it to her relay

Never tried jumble. I imagine it’s one of the rare clients that has custom algos

it's a client customized to work with algo relays, but what I'm trying to do is customize Jumble to include a client side algo

Interesting

I can't believe you never used the best nostr client: jumble.social.
