Topic: Add a new order tag for liked

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

I would like a feature where everytime you like something a value is added to all the tags of that post. Then when you turn on the order it shows the posts which it thinks you will like based on the tags. That way you don't have to see posts with a specific set of tags and ones you might actually like. In summary the order would be an algorithm based on your liked posts.

There are a lot of existing topics about adding a recommendation feature, like topic #31890
I can tell you though what you've described is almost certainly not one of the possible implementations

Yeah, that's wildly untenable, from both a usability standpoint & a resource-demand standpoint. For one thing, tags can change; what happens then? Unless you dynamically compute this & churn through a lot of CPU resource, it will be out of sync. If we cache it, we're using colossal amounts of memory to store this data for each user... & most of them will never use it.

I'm looking into recommendation/similarity systems, but this is not a method that's going to cause anything but trouble.
