Well Reddit still gets to decide which posts/subs to show over other ones based on voting and engagement metrics.
Comment on I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 1 year agoReddit 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

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.

i never saw the “you’ll probably like…” messages; but i saw them in others’ screenshots and it made me wonder why reddit’s algorithm(s) didn’t show it to me; i suspect it was because 99% of my subs were porn adjacent and they didn’t want to advertise that.

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