Maybe it's easier simply to classify things you wouldn't want to read and hide those as less interesting. Because of the variety of topics, training something to figure out what you like seems much more restricting on the flow. E.g. if you rarely read things with ".js" (stupid amounts of js library posts here), it'll be easier to say this is uninteresting to me, vs classifying everything as interesting so the algorithm has to infer that you find js libraries uninteresting. Although I'm pretty interested in node but not js libraries for api's necessarily, tough problem indeed.
