Interesting blog with cool animations and toys to understand some science about the Moon

Hello,

Earlier this year, I've made tournesol_bot lemmy account, to post every once a week, one of the current recommended video of Tournesol in this community.

Recently, a tournesol account appear on Mastodon, and does more or less the same job of sharing recommended videos every week.

So I decided to discontinue the recommending of videos here on this page. If you're interested to get some, please check-out https://peculiar.florist/@tournesolapp on your mastodon instance (or equivalent)

I also did update the community description, aiming now to talk about recommendation algorithms in general rather than to share videos (there are already a lot of communities for that purpose on Lemmy)

So don't hesitate, if you see any news related to that thematic, to cross-post it here !
