The Hot ordering is itself an algorithm.

john_t@piefed.ee 2 weeks agoThere’s no algorithm to be played in the fediverse. The reward is too low for all the work of making a post visible, and it won’t carry to the next post, essentially starting all over again.

There presumably is. Something metric decides visibility on the feeds. That algorithm not being based on corporate profitability doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if there’s no internal incentive. If it’s being indexed and shows in searches it will have all the incentive needed to maximise SEO for profit.

Google will never rank fediverse posts high. Said otherwise, the external incentives are not there either.
