A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Do you mean it downloads all the posts whether you read them or not? Is that basically running your own instance?
No. Posts are not downloaded and Quiblr is purely a frontend (you can choose which instance you want to use). The algorithm basically crafts the relevant API calls to populate the For You feed with content that matches your usage preferences. Those preferences and metadata are all stored on your device
Ah, so the "100% private" part is purely the recommendation engine.
I see what you mean. To clarify, Quiblr as a platform is also 100% private. It doesn't even use Google Analytics. The only data that I collect is anything submitted via the Feedback form + Umami for analytics .
It's a very nice feature of a pretty polished frontend I haven't heard of before, I'll be sure to try it out!
Let me know if you have any feedback!
