Reddit: Threads you might like (self.ideasfortheadmins)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This might have been suggested before and I tried to search for it (under 'personalized' and 'threads you might like'... but it didn't bring up anything.

anyway, as reddit is constantly getting what we like and what we don't like by our up and downvotes... could it serve a personalized 'portal' with posts that were upvoted by other redditors with similar likes or some 'association rule learning' as wikipedia put it?

Surely this must have been suggested before.. maybe for reddit gold only as a start (I don't have gold at the moment btw)

Just because Digg does it doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

I knew ppl were going to think I'm an ex-digger, but I hardly used digg..

Digg had it next to every post you clicked... no? I would make it more like a new tab, next to 'What's hot', 'new,'controversial', 'saved'

or a new sorting option like you have in 'new' -> 'rising'

we have saved, and when you'r in a post you can always click 'related' so there is something similar

It used to exist, and it sucked. Recommendations are a tricky business. Now if reddit accepted to publish at least some of their data, and issue a netflix-like challenge, then we could do something interesting.

That's the reason why I think we should move towards a decentralized version of reddit: so we don't have to beg when we want to change something. I've been experimenting stuff for a while now, but it's not a simple project :)

well, you can branch the source code, if I'm not mistaken reddit is open source..

That's true, but the changes would be so big, there would be almost no common code.

I posted nearly the same feature, but it got only two upvotes :-(

the ways of the internet eh? Well, I searched for existing posts to post in there, but didn't find yours...

but your explanation sounds like the 'related' tab we have when we're in a post? I'm thinking more of a 'portal' where posts are shown based on every upvote we ever made (not just this one link we're reading/upvoted at that time)

Reddit was initially a 'recommendation' engine back in the early days. It was horrible. Digg tried it too and it was horrible.
