Fortunately, there’s a big difference between Lemmy and Meta social media: no algorithms. Similarly to how reddit worked years ago, you have a page you cater to your needs that displays content based on numeric popularity, not because an algorithm deemed the content to be worth showing. I doubt there’d be much to argue with in court based on that premise alone.
Yeah good question, also it would be nice to have like a disinterested button so I could hide items instead of being shown them over and over again. I do tend to go to my all or local page and sort by top for the last 12 hours to get a better mix
I’d imagine it’s upvotes and time based, which to me sounds like an algorithm. I recognize it as a better and more fair algorithm but idk how it would be argued in court as being different. But I would love to learn with you.
There are always algorithms. You literally can’t make software without them. As far as algorithms for choosing which content is displayed, Lemmy still has to have one of those to weight votes vs. age. Is a post that’s +50/-0 from five minutes ago the best to show you, or the one that’s +400/-100 from an hour ago, or the one that’s +1000/-100 from last year?

How does Lemmy decide what to display on my front page? I’m not too familiar with that.

That sounds like exactly the same thing Reddit does
I don’t think reddit does that anymore.
I think they still do for r/all but you can’t even access it on mobile, it has to be your personalized feed tooled for maximum engagement.
