Is your reddit home feed governed by some algorithm (other than the standard upvotes and downvotes)
Comment on I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy

The thing with mostodon and lemmy is that the feed is not algorithmicly tailored to you with the goal to get you to spend as much time as possible. That’s why these experiences are usually more relaxed and fulfilling than what the big players offer.

Not my Apollo feed but I remember people complaining about posts from certain subs they didn’t like in their feed, so I’m guessing the official app does that?

I’ve always assumed it was due to the size of Reddit. I don’t care about anime at all but because lots of other people do it reaches the front page. This is why I became very liberal with the block button to tailor the feed.

Name of the wind was great. The only reason I didn’t start the second book was the Author’s refusal of releasing the third and “final” book. I prefer cutting things on my terms rather than being forced to. it sounds stupid but at least I feel in control that way lol.

Reddit wasn’t tailored to the user, the user tailored it to themselves (unless they were fool enough to use the official app).
It really is just that there’s less content here, and the content there is isn’t sorted particularly well via Hot. It’s a WIP

How the Best and Hot algorithms work on Reddit is completely up to Reddit. They 100% tailor it to the user.

Well Reddit still gets to decide which posts/subs to show over other ones based on voting and engagement metrics.

In the past months, I was getting so many “you will probably like…”
No, I don’t. Reddit, you’re showing me irrelevant subs which prevent me from browsing the feed I curated.
It was so annoying…

I’ve been a 3PA user for years, so that never really happened to me.
