Hi, I am writing here since I've been searching for something like this for over a month now, but I cannot seem to find anything that is satisfying, possibly because there isn't something out there that fits what I'm looking for.

Basically, I am interested in decentralized recommender systems that are:

  • currently being used

  • customizable, on the client side, at run time, to a certain extent (e.g. regulate exploratory vs safe recommendations, tag based)

  • if not being used, at least "usable out of the box", via code released on github

  • if nothing like this, at least a promising projects that are currently very active

Best case scenario would be a decentralized recommender system already applied to the fediverse. I am trying to get into this eco-system, but the lack of filters/tools of discovery for the content I'm being shown is a major hindrance for usability, at least for me. Being able to direct my own reccomender system, in order for it to be alligned with my goals and not with my addictive tendencies would be a bit of a dream, but I feel that a decentralized system would be the only way to achieve such a thing.

The dream!

I've seen some papers on some experimental systems that can work in a peer-to-peer environment, that try to balance our privacy (since somehow we need to collaborate without exposing all the content we like or are interested in) and good recommendations. It is however quite an endeavor implementing such systems.
