Hi everyone,

I am the indie developer behind SoraSNS (a Fediverse and Bluesky client featured by Tech Crunch twice). I just started working on a modern and futuristic styled Lemmy client.

It will come with some cool features like local AI LLM thread summary (of course you can select to use online APIs like Gemini too). And in later updates, I will try to add discovery feeds that features you links based on your interests (local ML like I implemented with the For You timeline in SoraSNS).

The image I attached is obviously the build 0. The target release date is around the first week of May.

Please join Discord group if you are interested in trying this app first: https://discord.gg/MfCDxf2TSD

    Appreciate your work and support for the Fediverse although I personally don’t miss the AI-based recommendation algorithms from the big platforms. If you keep watching ‘your interests’ it also hardens your personal media bubble. I prefer ‘dumb’ algorithms like ‘most upvoted’, ‘most controversial’, ‘newest’ etc.

      Got it! The initial release won’t have local ML recommendation algorithms. And I will think about making that an optional feature that requires opt-in. Thanks for your comment!

    local AI thread summary. If it’s local whatever but these threads ain’t long enough to need a summary.

      Sorry I meant like summarizing all the replies so you can quickly see different perspectives.

          Thanks for your comment! Based on the feedbacks I learned just minutes after posting I am not adding any AI features there.

        That’s fine, but most posts don’t get enough activity for need, I can get the vibe of all three comments with one glance.

        Partially kidding, but I’ve never been overwhelmed by amount of lemmy comments like sometimes on other platforms, which I don’t use, where I might need tool like this.

          Got it! But I guess based on the many comments about AI I will not add it in the first release.

    Respectfully read the room, cramming any LLM in it is a no-install for me. I don’t need summaries, wouldn’t give 100MB or a CPU cycle for it.

      Yeah I definitely learned that within just a short amount of time based on the huge number of downvotes initially! But I am so glad I learned it a month before I am going to release the app!
