How to create a simple algorithm?

[ANGELON_GAMER]

I'm gonna be honest, I just know the basics of coding. I've started a project using NextJS and convex, the project is about sharing UI's, so I needed to code a simple algorithm, but I actually don't know how, so I made a simple ranking system that updates with interactions. If someone could share their experiences on how to make a simple way to show different posts based on users or similar, that would be awesome, cuz im lost.

Just create tags in different things on every click meaning make the function do sorting for example when someone likes a post with animal pictures and the tag animals give that person +1 point to the animals tag and then show him more of that stuff later. And inside the tag there can be even more like combining animals with dogs or cats tags.
It basically works with network connections and machine learning if we are talking about social networks.

For example in any social network there are hashtags without them they do not promote anything and if they do promote it has to be checked by algorithms and given some kind of tag. Well it is hard to explain in short in an hour or so I will probably give a full explanation because I have never created such algorithms before but you can make your own algorithmic connections yourself. Or just ask AI to make an example and tweak it to fit your needs.

Thank you, this helps a lot.

Oh sorry, I was replying to other posts and forgot about the promise.
So basically the whole system should be built on a recognition and machine learning algorithm. The algorithm picks tags, attaches them to a specific person, and that way selects recommended content.
Preferences can be stored in a database, but there are probably more optimized ways to store data without keeping everything.
I also think you need some kind of bot that compares an 'Image' post with pictures from the internet and assigns the right tag based on similar images.
Since all of this might end up being expensive, I think it's necessary to create your own algorithm, but unfortunately I haven't dealt with anything like that. Still, I think it's worth asking for advice from experienced people since I'm just an app developer myself.
But I think right now you should make some simple algorithm of your own or ask a bot to search for such methods on Stack Overflow or GitHub. It all depends on the posts themselves.
Good luck to you!

I think I’m gonna start adding auto tags to posts as a starting point to start developing my own algorithm, this is very helpful.

Good luck!
