Should PeerTube potentially introduce custom feeds, like Bluesky’s model? (lemmy.world)

I was curious about something and wanted to get the community’s thoughts.

Bluesky has Custom Feeds (more info here: Complete Guide to Bluesky Custom Feeds), which basically let users subscribe to curated feeds built around certain topics or interests.

Since PeerTube doesn’t have a central recommendation algorithm (or any algorithims, for that matter) —outside of what third-party tools may offer—do you think a system like this could potentially be valuable?

For example, users (or communities) could create custom feeds for things like:

Cooking videos

Horror content

Comedy videos

Cute/wholesome clips

Certain Peertubers or Channels

etc.

…and people could subscribe to them as “living playlists” that update automatically.

Do you think this would improve discovery and make PeerTube more user-friendly, or would it risk centralizing content too much?

PieFed also has those feeds and they work with ActivityPub, I think they even wrote a documentation on how other software should implement it.

I think it makes total sense.

Would you happen to potentially have any sauce regarding that, or perhaps the documentation?
