The level of control Bluesky gives users with custom feeds is simply incredible. I could recreate the Mastodon newsfeed without any coding whatsoever.
All I had to do was create a feed on Skyfeed that
- Inputs @aendra.com’s list of verified news agencies (+ a couple of unofficial news accounts)
- sort using the HackerNews ranking algorithm
That’s all I needed to do. Here is my tweaked version of this (no login necessary)..
