social-app VS feed-generator

I wish I knew more about how one would stop instances full of malicious spam bots from flooding the services, but as for DMs, my understanding is the fact that everything is public through the AT protocol is probably why it doesn't yet have DMs (though maybe through public key crypto, one could have something). Maybe in the future, BlueSky will allow for messaging by tying accounts to some messaging protocol or services.

Apparently, DMs are low priority: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/1114

But when I save and then check the feed from bsky.app nothing is presented.

The issue is that while all the intended posts consistently show up when viewing the feed in SkyFeed and deck.blue, they do NOT all show up when viewing the feed on the bsky.app or on the official bsky iPhone App. Some posts show up in the feed on the official tools while others just don't. This started on appx. Tuesday of this week.

What is Bluesky? https://bsky.app/ shows nothing but a sign-in page and wikipedia doesn't seem list it either.

One of the things I like about Bluesky and ATProto is that you can build your own feed algorithms to do things like this.

You'd probably have to write your own UI to enable buttons / inputs to simplify the reconfiguration (I want to look at a different set of users now).

Here’s some docs and some code that give an overview of how feeds work:

https://docs.bsky.app/docs/starter-templates/custom-feeds

https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

Although, the new Twitter alternative Bluesky has significant traction (including many rats/postrats) and custom recsys is in their mission statement. Simple versions are already deployed, see https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

I'm looking into it now as well. This is the "starter kit" repo: https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

Bluesky explains, “Feeds are custom algorithms that users build with a little coding expertise.” Unfortunately my coding experience is less than tiny and the Github instructions are beyond my experience level. https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator

I'm not a front-end engineer, so https://github.com/bluesky-social/feed-generator has been less than instructive as to how to actually set up the dependencies needed to start on this, and I genuinely have no clue what to do. I'm also not a typescript guy, so this is basically me walking aimlessly. Anyone have experience with this or a resource that's a little more dumbed down?
