makes sense but why do the posts have to be in chronological order
1 1Dominik 🔮because if they’re not, how do I know that I have seen all posts? Say I see all the posts as of right now, then come back one hour later.
Now I want to read everything “since the last time”. Now I just read until I see I post I’ve already seen.
This only works when chronologically ordered, right?
2 2Samuelbut what does it mean to “see all posts” if it’s an algorithmic feed? we can keep showing you relevant posts near-indefinitely. chronological only makes sense with a limited set of posts, such as “all posts from people you follow”. “any possibly-relevant post” is unlimited
4 3Dominik 🔮yes, all posts from people I follow. That's why I follow them 😅
2 2Samuelyep and thats “Following” and it’s chronological. I think we’re getting wires crossed - I’m talking about people asking for it to be an algorithmic discovery feed *and also* chronological like this poor redditor

ZippyVtuber🔞They already do that tho xD

StasiaReaderI don't want an algorithmic feed.
I want a CHRONOLOGICAL FEED.
2 2Samuelthen use Following
2 1Dominik 🔮I have both the "Following" and "Latest from Follows" feeds, and they are not the same. It seems to me that only the latter is chronological.
Right now the top post on Following for me is from 5h ago, while Latest from Follows is 24m ago
1 2StasiaReaderOooh, I'll have to figure out how to set up a Latest From feed. Thanks for the idea!

It is currently, right this second, down for some unknown reason, by typically this happens when @why.bsky.team is on vacation and not around to reboot the single computer running this feed. It's sitting in his bedroom closet or something.
View feed on Bluesky 1 2StasiaReaderThis is great, but what I want is the Discovery feed in chronological form. I am, apparently, weird for wanting this.
1StasiaReaderBut I want to see more than just the people I follow.
Why are you so determined to not accept that some of us prefer chronological order for all social media?
1ZippyVtuber🔞Following feed does that
1 1StasiaReaderBut I want to see things from people I don't follow. What's wrong with chronological order?
1 1ZippyVtuber🔞So you want every single post from the website in order? I’m confused. That would be insane. There’s way too many people posting at once all the time for that to be possible, I think.
1 1StasiaReaderComputers measure time in microseconds. I'm pretty sure the bright folks involved in programming social media sites could figure it out.
But yes. I want all the posts in chronological order.

SamuelStasiaReaderThere are certainly some accounts I'd block from that feed (this account is for NO politics at all), but that's not awful.
1StasiaReaderThis is actually fun to watch! Thank you so much; I'd never have known it was available!
1ZippyVtuber🔞How exactly will you keep up with who knows how many posts posted a minute? Or even a second?
1StasiaReaderObvs, I can't keep up with The Firehose ( @samuel.fm post a link to that, which I actually love watching!).
But I do think that insisting on a top-down forced list of Who You/Everyone Get To See has... inherent issues. OBVIOUS inherent issues.
2ZippyVtuber🔞I am confused 😅
ZippyVtuber🔞I thought the firehouse was what you wanted, no? A chronological feed of every single post on bluesky in order?

mashedits a pretty simple ask. just curate x number of relevant posts per hour and mix them into my normal chronological feed of ppl i follow. the most important part is that i want to hit the bottom of the feed so i know when to stop scrolling, but i also want to see content from people i dont follow.
