Wait so there is still a bsky-hosted What's Hot feed? I thought they replaced that with Discover

@samuel.fm
oh it's the same feed, they just renamed it but I will never acknoledge the new name
1 3Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦But the new one is personalized somehow, with things mixed in based on your likes or follows or something, right? So in logged out mode they use the same algo and just disable the personalized parts?
1 3SamuelI assume so?

Natanael, Tech janitorIt might be customized to a particular DID, would be fun if somebody could figure out the details
1 2Samuelit definitely is, you get an auth token that you can decode to get the DID. there's instructions in the feed gen template repo
1 1Natanael, Tech janitorI mean that open one. Is the public feed just unauthed or custom to a specific feed? Like, could they show different things to a brand new user with no customization vs somebody logged out?
1 2Samuelthe open one is just the Discover feed yeah
2 1Samuelyou'd be able to tell apart an unauthed user, because they wouldn't send a token
Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Lol I think I found some kind of bsky test account 😂 bsky.app/profile/did:...
Discover/WhatsHot is hosted at discover.bsky.social, which also hosts this account's two feeds 🙃 discover.bsky.social/xrpc/app.bsk...
1 3Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Also, I follow @jaz.bsky.social's What's Hot feed, which I think is a fork of the old pre-Discover What's Hot, and it has very different kind of content 🤔 WH has mostly popular posts about today's events/meme/drama, and Discover is much more random
