For You is such an insanely good feed, its digging up 3 month old posts to make a joke on the TL

Mateusz Górniak@samuel.fm what are you using for this per post feed name in the bottom left corner of a post?
1 2Samuelit’s a debug string. the feed author gets to choose what to put on each post - for some reason it’s just “for-you” on every post
1 3Samuel@spacecowboy17.bsky.social would you be interested in me unlocking this feature in the client for you to see? I could enable it when dev mode is enabled or something

spacecowboyThis is the "feed context" string that the feed generator returns in response. This string gets sent along with the interactions like "show less".
I use the feed name to tell which feed the interaction is from because I use the same generator URL to serve for-you, videos-for-you and links-for-you
1 4spacecowboyThere is a bunch of debug information I could return instead: score, num curators, num paths. See linklonk.com/bluesky
But how else would I identify the source feed?

Samueldumb answer: string concatenation
but I think there’s also another thing called recId that you could use?
1 4spacecowboyConcatenation could work, though not sure how a long string would be displayed.
1 3spacecowboyCould be cool to show a link to users where they can find more details about each feed item. The feed generator could return such a link in the response. Probably other feed builders could be interested in that. @devingaffney.com

🦃 Horn Of Plenty 🍂 Devin 🍗 Gaffney 🥧Very into that - we would be happy to support a link to Graze that would run the debugger against the individual post for the individual feed to show the user the *exact* path for why a post was in their TL

Banda BassottiRemarkable how well "recently liked by people who like what you like" works.
Though, when I write it out like that is doesn't sound that surprising.
