Documentation

#umichresearch

  1. Get all feeds (firehose) from the past 12 hours
  2. Remove replies, leaving only posts and re-posts (to speed up filters that follow)
  3. Remove re-posts, now leaving only posts (to speed up filters that follow)
  4. Filter using regular expressions (regex), searching the post text, images alt text, and links
    • Match pattern "umich research", "umich center", etc.
      • Match the beginning of any word, or words starting with # or @
      • Then match umich, mich med, etc.
      • Then optionally match end of the word or apostrophe s ('s)
      • Then match health, center, institute, research, etc.
      • Then match optional endings in ing, ed, etc.
      • Then match the end of the word (word boundary)
    • OR match links to any sub-domains of umich.edu, umflint.edu or umdearborn.edu (the parent domains are excluded to avoid getting unrelated university announcements)
    • OR match links to specific domains that also contain research articles (e.g. michiganmedicine.org, myuofmhealth.org, depressioncenter.org)
  6. Limit to 200 results (since this could potentially return thousands of posts)
  7. Add posts from a custom #umich-researchers list, from the last 7 days. Since researchers are busy teaching and doing research, pulling longer history makes sense.
  8. Remove replies, to ensure only posts and re-posts from investigators in the previous list are used in the feed. Comments in replies potentially add too much unrelated information
  9. Add posts using any of the following tags: #umichresearch, #umichresearchers, #umich-researchers, #umichscience, #umdepressioncenter, #umichdepressioncenter, #umichmetric, #ummetricsymposium, #umichmetricsymposium, #metricsymposium, #umichisr, #d3center, #umichd3c, #umichpsc
  10. Now try to narrow posts by filtering using regular expressions for research-related keywords, or keywords that researchers are likely to use when referring to studies and research-related events
  11. Then remove potentially offensive or off-topic (non-research) posts with an inverse regular expresison filter
  12. Remove offensive, sexually charged, hate charged, misleading, or spam posts using the Bluesky Moderation Service
  13. Remove duplicates
  14. Finally, sort by creation date to display newest posts first
