@fomo_erotic It's a great journey. Can you elaborate what you mean by the issue of discovery?
What I mean by discovery is the finding of new and interesting content. For example, via YouTube it does track my viewing and it gives me some novelty via playlists. There are also channels that find new music and aggregate it.
I'm always in the hunt for novelty in media and a concern ive had and have experienced with mine own Lemmy instance is that of discovery, or finding new content.
Basically a big part I like about digital music is that I find stuff I never would have known about. If I'm going self hosted, it seems like this would get very much more limited.
@fomo_erotic I generally look at the suggested content below the video I am watching and it generally works in exposing me to new content. I use LibreTube but I am not sure if the same is available for other FOSS apps.
Yeah I guess that might work. it's just the effort part and the self selection issue.
I've got some scripts I put together for doing network analysis of yiutube. I'll have to look into some of these programs and see if I could extend them into a personalized content recommendation system. Someday when I finish all my other projects (😂)
