Welcome to Home+

It's the Home feed Bluesky was missing until now: A feed that shows those you care about, and adds interesting content from your extended social circles

It's the first fully algorithmic feed that offers a twitter home like experience, but without the engagement hacking

Note

BlueJ is no longer maintained, but you can use this project as a template to create your custom feed for Bluesky.

Instructions

To run BlueJ, run the Memgraph database with:

docker run -it -p 7687:7687 -p 7444:7444 memgraph/memgraph-mage

Or follow the instructions for your platform on https://memgraph.com/docs/memgraph/installation

Indexes

Indexes are critical for performance, for each event that comes in the database needs to match user id's and post id's, and without indexes those take a looonnggg time (for a computer anyway), so once you have memgraph running, create indexes using this query:

CREATE INDEX ON :Person(did);
CREATE INDEX ON :Person(handle);
CREATE INDEX ON :Person(community_id);
CREATE INDEX ON :Post(uri);
CREATE INDEX ON :Person;
CREATE INDEX ON :Post;

Running

Once done, follow these steps to run:

1. git clone https://github.com/memgraph/bluej.git
2. cd bluej
3. npm i
4. npm i -g ts-node
5. cp .env.example .env
6. ts-node src/index.ts

To start creating your own feed, copy ./src/algos/home-plus.ts to a new file and register it in ./src/algos/index.ts. Restart ts-node and you should be able to call your feed by opening it up in your browser: http://localhost:3001/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getFeedSkeleton?limit=20&feed=at%3A%2F%2Fdid%3Aplc%3A2wqomm3tjqbgktbrfwgvrw34%2Fapp.bsky.feed.generator%2Fhome-plus

Replace did:plc:ewgejell4547pukut5255ibm with the DID from your account (running ts-node scripts/get-did.ts myhandle.bsky.social can help you find it) and /home-plus with the name of your feed. If it works you should see an output like
