Weekly Exploration and Weekly Jams contain the same tracks

[uroh]

Hi,

I'm using Explo with Docker Compose and Navidrome, and I'm experiencing what seems to be an issue with the weekly playlists.

Both Weekly Exploration and Weekly Jams are being generated/imported correctly, but I often find that the two playlists contain many of the same songs, sometimes almost identical.

I'm trying to understand whether this is:

1. expected behavior from ListenBrainz, because the two recommendation systems can return overlapping tracks;
2. a known issue in Explo when importing the two playlists;
3. or something related to my Docker Compose/configuration.

My setup is approximately:

• Explo: Docker (ghcr.io/lumepart/explo)
• Music server: Navidrome
• Discovery service: ListenBrainz
• LISTENBRAINZ_DISCOVERY=playlist
• Weekly Exploration and Weekly Jams enabled as separate scheduled jobs
• weekly-jams is run with --download-mode=skip

The main question is: should Weekly Exploration and Weekly Jams normally contain substantially different recommendations, or is significant overlap between the two expected?

If the overlap is not expected, are there any specific configuration options or flags I should check?

I can provide my docker-compose.yml, .env (with credentials removed), and relevant Explo logs if useful.

Thanks!
