I think the way LinkLonk works will support the scenarios you are talking about.
If you read every issue of the Money Stuff newsletter and upvote 5 out of 10 that are most informative and then if I upvote 2 of those 5 that you upvoted then I would get connected to you and to the feed of the newsletter (if such feed existed, I don't seem to find an RSS feed for it). But because your signal to noise ratio is "2 out of 5" and the feeds ratio is "2 out of 10", then my connection to you will be stronger. And so I will see your recommendations first. That is, I will get a prioritized view of Money Stuff issues and I will benefit from you work as a curator.
To get a sense of what recommendations you would get if you upvote a given item, you can go to the items detail page (three vertical dot button in bottom right of every item -> Item page). There you will see recommendations from the users and feeds that upvoted/posted that content. For example, if you go to https://linklonk.com/item/7470250776832704512 https://linklonk.com/item/7470250776832704512 (a page for https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/08/please-stop-adding-more-lanes-to-busy-highways-it-doesnt-help/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2021/08/please-stop-adding-more...) then you will see what else was recommended by 6 users and 2 feeds that upvoted/posted that article from Ars Technica.
- lonk11 5y agoWhen you upvote a link, LinkLonk tries to extract the feed url from the metadata of that page. So most of the time you only need to submit a link to the content you found useful and LinkLonk will start tracking the source feed and will bring you recommendations from it. Here is an example of a Substack newsletter issue: https://linklonk.com/item/2348076191098765312 https://linklonk.com/item/2348076191098765312 which has this feed url: https://semianalysis.substack.com/feed https://semianalysis.substack.com/feed and if you scroll down on the item detail page you will see other issues of that newsletter in the item-based recommendations If there is feed url in the metadata, but you know the feed url, then you can submit (linklonk.com/submit) the feed url directly and LinkLonk will connect you to it.
