Some feeds require way more manual intervention / manual blocks than others:
- Interior design (AI sloppers love interior design for some reason)
- Sculpture (B&W nudes mistaken for statues)
- Goth (low-effort final fantasy 3D renderings / gposer)

Feed quality should be better now, since I'm also taking into account past account photo quality/relevance, in addition to just a random sample of images from the firehose (analyzing everything would require a beefier machine)
Sadly the language filtering is done by the bsky appview, so feeds don't have control over that.
Perhaps it would be nice to have a flag in atproto like "this content is mostly visual, please show it irrespective of language"
I'm noticing a lot of nice content in the various feeds since the Brazilian migration from X.
Consider changing your language preferences to All languages (instead of just English) if you want to see more content!

Some recently added feeds: Electronics, Photography, Thunderstorms, Yaoi, Yuri, Interior design, Art
I try to exclude AI content from the feeds, although some might seep through every once in a while. Not out ideological opposition, it's just that the vast majority is low effort and repetitive
The hosting provider I use (Contabo) has been having lots of downtime recently. I could switch to something else, but tbh they have good performance per dollar, so I'll probably stick with them (this is just a hobby project after all).
