Community-ranked Bluesky feed

Make Bluesky care about what your community cares about.

Corgi lets a community tune what rises first, then shows the weights, scores, and receipts behind the order.

Corgi Commons preview

One feed. A policy the community can inspect.

Corgi Commons brings together open-network building, research, software, data, and the conversations connecting them. Change the illustrative policy below to see how the same posts reorder.

This is the failure mode the community wants to fix: the viral joke wins even though it is a weak match.

Bluesky shows the ordered feed; ranking receipts are inspected on Corgi — inspect them in the no-login demo.

Any community can choose what “good” means.

Every active community has posts worth surfacing and noise worth sinking — but “good” looks different to each one. Corgi lets a community set which signals matter, so the right posts rise, generic viral drift sinks, and the reason for every change stays inspectable.

Neighborhood Mutual Aid

Recency + Source diversity

Urgent local needs and verified updates rise above old viral posts.

Open-source Maintainers

Relevance

Patches, docs, and release notes outrank memes and project drama.

Tabletop Creators

Relevance

Indie releases, actual play, and safety tools don't get buried by fandom noise.

Example communities, illustrative.

The feed is mixed, not topic-siloed.

A governed recommender reconciles recency, engagement, bridging, source diversity, and relevance in one ranking. Topic preferences shape relevance; content rules shape which posts are eligible.

Epochs turn proposals into auditable changes.

Corgi's production loop is proposal, voting window, results review, operator approval, rescore, publication, and receipt. The shadow demo compresses that sequence without changing the public feed.

Epoch and proposal flowauditable sequence

Proposal

A ranking change is proposed before it affects the feed.

Voting window

Approved participants vote on signals, topic priorities, or content rules.

Results review

Corgi aggregates the ballots and presents the proposed policy for review.

Operator approval

An operator approves or rejects the complete proposed policy.

Rescore and publish

After approval, Corgi applies the policy, reranks, and publishes the ordered feed.

Inspect

Corgi keeps explanations tied to the policy epoch while Bluesky renders the posts.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how Corgi ranks the feed and shows its work.

Corgi is a Bluesky feed where a community can decide how posts get ranked. The no-login demo lets you set shadow ranking weights, combine them with scripted community ballots, and inspect why the isolated order changed. It's for Bluesky communities that want more local context and less generic viral drift.

Inspect the feed before you trust it.

Start with the no-login demo, change an isolated shadow policy, then connect a Bluesky app password only when you’re ready to participate.
