Does Bluesky have an algorithmic feed or doesn't it? Hard to tell by Googling.

#BlueSky

@timrichards It does, but also chronological. 'Discover' and 'Following'

@troberts Does it repeatedly force the algorithmic feed in your face, or can you easily ignore it?

@timrichards @troberts you can completely remove both default feeds from the top tabs and add only e.g. a "cat pics" feed as your only feed, if you want to :)

@mackuba @timrichards As far as I can tell, "following" (the chronological feed of posts by people you follow) is the one feed you can't remove, but beyond that you have "algorithmic choice", i.e. you can add a practically unlimited set of feeds developed by Bluesky or third parties. The algorithmic "Discover" feed is the only one that's present by default, but you can remove it and add whatever ones you like. For example, there's a feed that's following minus all the boosts, or there's a "quiet posters" feed that shows you post from the less prolific accounts you follow so you don't miss them.@troberts
