Guide

Ratebit builds your own feed of links from Bluesky and the rest of the ATmosphere, right on your device.

  1. 01

    Install

    Get the app from the home page (Linux, Windows and Android).

  2. 02

    Start listening

    In Algo → Listener, pick which posts to keep, add a few words to your Watchlist, and press Listen at the top. More on the listener

  3. 03

    Browse your feed

    The Feed tab shows the best of what was saved. Follow people you like and hide cards with ✕.

  4. 04

    Rate

    Press Rate on a card, or paste a link into the Rate tab, and score it 1–10. High and low ratings both teach your feed, so rate the misses too. Ratings stay private unless you publish them.

  5. 05

    Customize the algo

    Your algorithm should be your own, and get better as you tweak it over time. The default, Balanced Mix, is a good starting point. Change it in Algo → Algorithm: start from a ready-made one or write your own.

  6. 06

    Connect an account (optional)

    To publish ratings, type your handle in Data and press Connect. Any ATProto account works, for example Bluesky. Login options

  7. 07

    Sync devices (optional)

    Ratebit Plus syncs your ratings and settings across devices, end-to-end encrypted. Without it, Ratebit never contacts a Ratebit server.
