Hey hivemind, anyone have experience hosting custom feeds for #Bluesky? Or recommendations for how to do something similar on #Mastodon?
@patrickmcurry custom feeds? do you mean, like, the lists feature? or something else
@aeva my understanding is that Bluesky lets you made code-driven feeds / filters, that then show up as a custom timeline view in Bluesky (once you subscribe to it).
@aeva So I could make a custom feed that only shows posts with the #doom or #quake hashtag it. Just a random example.
@patrickmcurry oh. you could probably do something basic through the search feature, assuming you mean something more narrow than just subscribing to hash tags. otherwise you might be looking in custom client territory
@aeva Yeah my gut is that I’d have to crack open the code to one of the clients (or the default web client). Too much work for now, but maybe I can prototype it on Bluesky?
@patrickmcurry or grab the python API wrapper and make a thing that generates a little digest page?
@aeva I’ve made a bunch of lil web views of Mastodon data and that’s fun. But I really want it in my client so I can like/boost/reply. My web experiments are here FYI: https://patrickcurry.com/socials/mastodon/tools/

@aeva I could also prototype my ideas as a TamperMonkey user script. They’re fun to make but it can become a real rabbit hole. Once you start “fixing” websites it can go on forever.
