I think the links should open in the same window (like they do here on HN) instead of in a new tab/window. If I want a separate tab, I can Cmd+click and Browsers don't have the reverse option for opening in the same window.
nope, I prefer open in new tab by default
Good ol' _____-clicking saves the day again!
I submitted a somewhat similar project yesterday to Show HN (didn’t resonate), although mine is purely based on AI scoring, with zero community features. I call it bubblewire. Funny. I had no prior knowledge of bubbles.town until seeing it here now. bubbles.town looks nice! Hope to see more projects that aim to bring back the good old web.

> (didn’t resonate), although mine is purely based on AI scoring One reason for it not resonating might be that it’s yet another opaque algorithmic feed in a moment in time where people are getting sick and tired of them and wary of their manipulative features. And HN is so inundated with AI submissions that having yet another Show HN about it is uninteresting to many. Would you visit HN if it were just a link aggreg…
I assumed it was...?
If not, who or what decides the ranking moment-by-moment? dang?
I’ve been perusing Bubbles increasingly often since discovering that my blog is syndicated there, a few weeks ago. It feels really refreshing compared to doomscrolling of social media, or indeed even to HN. It’s so diverse and humane. The indie blogosphere is coming to life. Kudos to the author. A great idea, splendidly executed. I hope it grows and doesn’t change much.
Just glanced at the front page - it seems to be very "blog posts about blogging" (4 out of the top 5 posts right now). Is it always like that? The "My" tab looks like it covers the same ground as a feed reader would. I wonder who the audience is for that feature.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Exactly. This is a design choice and there’s no right or wrong here.
the difference is that with tab-open default, there is no way for me to open the link in this window with this-window default (or actually, the browser-default-default), I can middle click and it'll open in a new tab regardless pretty funny to have this discussion though, takes me back to the HTML4 and XHTML days
The Briefings have been most useful for me. It feels more curated and less firehose-y. https://bubbles.town/briefing
That line is so claude.
