Hi, sorry for late follow up on this. I did a write up on the Quiblr “For You” feed here

I pushed an update to Quiblr. I added the instance detail to the Communities page. Additionally, the vertical 3 dot ellipses on each post has an option called Post Detail >> I added the original post url here

Let me know if you have any additional feedback!

That is an effect of the dynamic sizing (adjusting the style for different screen dimensions) + it may be because the items are in a flatlist. I will add a dynamic image size setting option tonight to allow users to show the full image ratio rather than a standardized image size.

Edit: dynamic image size setting is now live

I use Kofi for donations (button in the top bar). I build and pay for everything myself so support is appreciated!

Let me know if you have any feedback!

I see what you mean. To clarify, Quiblr as a platform is also 100% private. It doesn’t even use Google Analytics. The only data that I collect is anything submitted via the Feedback form + Umami for analytics .

No. Posts are not downloaded and Quiblr is purely a frontend (you can choose which instance you want to use). The algorithm basically crafts the relevant API calls to populate the For You feed with content that matches your usage preferences. Those preferences and metadata are all stored on your device

I appreciate the kind words. And yes, I included a mechanism to constantly refresh and clean up recommendations so that it doesn’t use too much memory

Quiblr is purely a frontend. It creates a standardized experience across Instances (including the feed personalization). Im not super familiar with Kbin. If it uses the same API as Lemmy then it should work.

Long-term, I’d love to integrate more and more fediverse platforms into Quiblr

Gotcha. That should be an easy addition. I’ll see if I can push an update tonight!

Edit: I noted this in a separate comment, but I added the instance info to the communities page + the original post url to the Post Details page (via the 3 dot ellipses)

Yup, 100% completely local to your device alone

All front-end.

And thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate what you mean by “can’t find the real URL of anything”?

Ahh nice, so simple

I must ask… what is cinnamon butter?

That’s pretty incredible. And I agree, you should be proud that you took a chance and tried

Great watch! Never knew I wanted to know so much about dishwashers

I think the issue is that people feel empowered to use plastic because they think it ultimately will be recycled.

NPR has done various reporting on this, but essentially the players in the plastic industry have long known that plastic recycling did not work but they actively promoted it (knowing that it would increase plastic usage)

Both

Same. I reduce usage when I can. If not, then I try to at least reuse it (such as a plastic bag). Last resort is to recycle.

Unfortunately, plastic recycling seems to largely be a scam (in that it doesn’t actually get recycled)

That’s a really good point. It’s unfortunate that polyester tends to be the go-to cheap option for clothes
