PeerTube Picks is now available on the official Firefox Add-ons page! Firefox users no longer have to worry about losing their data when the browser closes:
The name PeerTube Picks was chosen through collaboration with the PeerTube Lemmy community. This add-on provides video recommendations using a cosine similarity algorithm based on videos you’ve watched and liked. It aims to predict which videos you’re likely to engage with—either by watching for longer periods or hitting the like button.
Updates: The PeerTube Picks icon now appears next to the search bar on any PeerTube page. Clicking it opens a list of recommended videos, ranked by engagement and relevance.
A new Options page allows you to:
-Download or upload your video watch history
-Delete your watch history (recommended occasionally to refresh your recommendations)
I’m open to suggestions and contributions—feel free to share ideas or improvements!
Well, technically Lemmy also has algorithms, though they’re much simpler than the bigger tech platforms and you choose which one you want to use. I think this is a fairly good model for fediverse platforms to pursue.
I’d like to give PieFed a try but I didn’t want to give out my email. Maybe I need to make a burner.
