just had a strange aha moment. Most discovery feeds are a anchored on “recency”, which is a shame because so much good historical content exists.

Is YouTube the only social that has discovery supporting non-recent content?

Governance Public Utilities for @zksync at @thezknation

Reddit search through Google (depends on subreddit, some are evergreen).

For Startupy beta the recency is recent curations (kinda like folklore drip) which could be historical e.g. the first post I curated was from 2016. https://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/design-as-participation/release/1

The focus seems to be really orienting insight discovery around associations and/or serendipity. @sari

agreed! most apps which tackle discovery would do well to support multiple modes, recency being one, relational another. i imagine the tricky part is discerning between information which is evergreen and time specific

this is a major area where
farcaster can get it right…

give casters the ability to
have a curated profile, to
prioritize the most relevant
(most important) content -
not the most recent…
