Social magazine app Flipboard<\/a> has introduced a custom feed for the decentralized social network Bluesky. The company said that the \u201cTech by Flipboard\u201d feed is a curated feed by the app\u2019s recommendation algorithm.<\/p>\n

Last month, Bluesky rolled out the ability to create custom feeds<\/a> built using custom algorithms. Users can add these feeds to their accounts to browse different content and accounts on the social network. The idea was that Bluesky shouldn\u2019t have a single feed with a core recommendation algorithm like other social networks.<\/p>\n

This presents an opportunity to app makers to build their custom feeds to show relevant content to users. Flipboard\u2019s tech feed is all about different articles posted by users. Think of it as the article recommendation system Nuzzle<\/a> (RIP), which Twitter killed a few years ago, but on Bluesky.<\/p>\n

Flipboard said that its algorithm looks through the firehose of content on Blueksy and picks relevant posts.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our Tech feed, our AI topic extraction algorithms don\u2019t just look at the raw text being posted to Bluesky. Instead, they dig into shared articles, categorize the content inside them, and confirm that the article meets Flipboard\u2019s quality standards. This delivers streams of stories that are both topical and high quality,\u201d the company said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

It added that soon it will introduce custom feeds for different topics like Business and Entertainment. You can connect your Bluesky account to Flipboard and see these feeds in the news app.<\/p>\n

Flipboard has integrated with different open protocols like ActivityPub and AT Protocol. This lets users see their Mastodon, Bluesky and Pixelfed feeds in the Flipboard app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bluesky currently has a limited user base, but with custom feeds it is giving people a taste of the algorithmic choice Jack Dorsey<\/a> and the company\u2019s CEO Jay Graber<\/a> have talked about. As networks like Twitter<\/a>, TikTok<\/a>, and Instagram<\/a> are experimenting with a heavy-handed approach to what should appear in your feed, having feeds populated by different algorithms could be refreshing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
