A Bluesky user runs a custom 'For You' feed algorithm for 72,000 users from a home gaming PC using Go and SQLite, costing only $30/month. The system scales efficiently by tracking user likes and could potentially support all of Bluesky's daily active users. This demonstrates the decentralized, customizable nature of Bluesky's feed architecture.
Background
Bluesky is a decentralized social media platform that allows users to create and share custom algorithmic feeds. This enables alternative content discovery mechanisms beyond centralized control.
