I made a Lemmy instance with a custom algorithm that keeps only the top 20% most unique (=interesting?) posts. It does this by calculating a similarity score between every post on my instance and all posts that came before it. The top 80% of posts with the highest self-similarity get removed instantly.
The idea would be that this allows me to cut through the noise that’s running through the communities, similar to how xkcd-signal attempted to do 20 years ago.
The instance is mostly meant for reading, not posting. So it has a very open federation policy (for now).
If anything, this is experimental. So please let me know what you think! You can see the type of stuff that gets removed in the modlog (https://lemmy.coffee/modlog).
Selling is outside the scope of the licence, you can do whatever you want with monetisation, be it free or paid-for.
But any one person that uses your GPL if local, AGPL if local or through a remote service, has the right to request you a copy of the code and you have an obligation to comply and provide it
Thanks!
