how is everyone feeling re this question? did manifold improve discovery in 2024?

I just browsed the question history of someone who replied to me and found a market that was very interesting.

I thought of your market I browsed by recently and searched for it.

I think you're making a very good point.

Manifold has a difficult job here, there's a vast number of markets, and the labelling/recommending of markets whether through "algorithmic" recommendations alone, or through the user polling a very general series of interests (not subscribing to existing market categories) then an algorithm working upon those, is hard.

But I really agree that I don't have a good feedback on this site, from my personally interesting markets i haven't seen yet, versus the markets I generally see after 3 months of membership.

I'm going to subscribe to that person now because I think that's the only way I'll see them more.

@VAPOR subscribing works but also has some problems because I follow some people because we interact on here and I want to show reciprocity but I am not necessarily interested in their questions. Other people I follow I am only interested in their AI related questions but not UK elections. Even the subscription feature needs some re-work

@Soli Yeah subscriptions on other ones are giving me UK football for example, and I'm not satisfied with it, despite good AI questions.

It's the only possibility I have to introduce their relevant posts into my feed. Theres no algorithm for their posts plus some implicit understanding of my interests

@Soli you can also just sort by New or Random in the browse tab; that's how i find many of the markets I bet on

@duck_master good tip thank you!!
