Seems like the feeds are more active and I’m not hitting things with 3 upvotes 20 minutes into my scroll. Did Connect change something, did Lemmy or are we just seeing some population increase from Boost?

Hot, Active and Top are algorithms.
fans myself oh my
I prefer the Hot, Active, and Topless ones myself
It’s also not what lay-people mean when they say “algorithm” in context of social media, which you can easily infer from the OP’s question. That’s why I replied as such and specified that even sorting by date is indeed an algorithm.
I’m replying to the question being asked, you’re replying with “akchually”.
A post sorting algorithm doesn’t have to be personalized. When OP asks “has the algorithm changed” it could certainly mean Hot or Active sorting.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to redefine what “algorithm” means in the context of social media. Hot and top are sorting algorithms, so are the personalized feeds other websites try to present to you. Saying “hot” is not an algorithm because that’s not what people “mean” is just going to cause confusion.
The only person here achktuallying is you. Normal people mean exactly what they say when you are talking sorts.
You’re just completely wrong lol
I’m with you on this one
Well, correcting someone on a technicality is a common hobby among IT people, sadly. Everyone’s happy, I guess - I provided the answer OP was (I think) looking for, they got to boost their ego by correcting someone and I don’t particularly care about those idiots.
OP is clearly talking about the existing algorithm so you’re wrong on both points ackchually 😆
