no worries, afterall i’m just a plate of spaghetti floating in the blue sky and you are the void lol i appreciate the help in gaining new inspiration for wrangling the default feed which is way more than I expected
April 12, 2025 at 10:29 PM
oh damn, funny that might be how it works for real tho,
for the [content language] setting intended to only show selected languages on the feed, it does seem to take effect immediately upon checking/unchecking a language and reloading the feed
April 12, 2025 at 10:17 PM
if this might make a difference it makes me wonder if the display interface language might influence the discovery feed language as well, i’ll def be putting this one to the test
April 12, 2025 at 10:08 PM
oh this is interesting since in the user interface settings, it’s implied the [preferred language] selection is only used for setting default translation option, but there is also a separate option for displaying only chosen language posts on the feed and it sounds like it could also be about that
April 12, 2025 at 10:05 PM
if there’s a timeframe sampling involved like your hypothesis i can see it impacting the number of post per language as well
April 12, 2025 at 9:58 PM
there’s def another possibility with more english posts making it into the discovery feed being a result of more posts in English in the all-purpose firehouse regardless of number of non-eng accounts followed, so i may have to experiment with it some more or until bsky decide to adjust the balance
April 12, 2025 at 9:56 PM
but it might make sense if your hypothesis is true since non-english art accounts have a tendency to only post and not interact
April 12, 2025 at 9:42 PM
I had experimented with improving the balance of non-english posts picked up on the default feed by following more non-english accounts, but those never seem to gain big traction in the discovery feed similar to twxtter’s default feed unless I disable english posts altogether
April 12, 2025 at 9:41 PM
oh I see, interesting there’d be an interaction threshold (for followed accs interacting with each other?) thrown into the mix along with following, sounds like trying to increase the number of curated acc on default feed with more interactions might help with pushing off the trending posts
April 12, 2025 at 9:37 PM
oh amazing, I would love your insights if you’re interested and have some thoughts to share, and of course don’t forget to take care of yourself
April 12, 2025 at 7:00 PM
since it is quite a deep topic on its own there’s no need to feel obligated unless you’re interested but moreover i appreciate your taking the time to speak to those in the void manifesting the miracle of the internet
April 12, 2025 at 6:35 PM
i am so sorry to have became the actual void please don’t worry about it tho you’re doing amazing
April 12, 2025 at 6:28 PM
i’m using custom feeds myself but i am interested in seeing if there is a best method to train or curate the default feed behavior to organically surface posts as it would be an indicator of how much effort an average user would have to put in for the default site behavior to be of good utility
April 12, 2025 at 5:26 PM
oh damn, i did not expect the void to speak back and i thank you for your input
my current theory is perhaps a higher threshold of curated followed user is needed to influence the default feed as accs appear to start with varied recs but fall back to default recced content once posts are exhausted
April 12, 2025 at 5:17 PM
oh nevermind spoke too soon it would fallback to default no accs following content as soon as the expected hypercurated posts were exhausted it’s back to the void for me

although i feel it’s the same type of dilemma with the same type of solution as looking at the irl disaster party across the street and deciding it’s better to host a private party between your friends instead
