🎉 Exciting news! 🎉 Bluesky is providing more tools for feed developers -- in particular, they now send us data on feed usage, e.g., which posts you saw on Paper Skygest. We'll be using this to analyze A/B tests to improve the feed and study academic Bluesky.

**Please repost** If you're enjoying Paper Skygest -- our personalized feed of academic content on Bluesky -- we'd appreciate you reposting this! We’ve found that the most effective way for us to reach new users and communities is through users sharing it with their network

Because Skygest currently picks up all pdfs, we know we include court cases and legal discussion. We are considering explicitly excluding such posts (e.g., courtlistener links). Please reply if you have a strong opinion in either direction or have other common false positives that we should exclude

[This will be true for _new_ posts going forward but old posts from before this morning are still in our database and may be shown]
