I want to support the guy, but damn does he like to overpromise and underdeliver...
We've been hearing about Loops being open sourced (which would imply the ability to be federated) for months already. Just publish the thing and let the community help, @[email protected] !
- maybe he's worried about people implementing a premature protocol?
  
  One more reason to be asking for help from the community and to be doing everything in the open.
  He doesn't need to know everything. No one is expecting him to deliver flawless software. But I'd have place more trust on someone that works in the open than someone who keeps saying "next week!" out of fear of being judged by the initial quality of their software.

I know this is a contentious topic around here but what's the news of Loops' recommendation algorithm? Does it have one?
- If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.
  Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (~~not open source though~~ and it's now open source).
  Mastodon and others should take note.
  
  Quiblr actually is open source now: https://github.com/Technicolor-Dreamcoat/Quiblr
  
  I agree. For stuff like Mastodon and Loops I really want "For You", not a simple chronological feed.
- Irrc, a 'For You' algorithm is on the road map, but it doesn't currently have it.
- Probably won’t have one for a while. Pixelfed still doesn’t have one afaik and that’s another of their projects.
- No. Posts are chronological.
