minus-square@brucethemooselink35•1 month agoThere’s apparently another issue that’s depriorotizing “niche” subs in the recommendation algorithm, that some mod claimed was a bug. It’s pretty obvious, they’re just prioritizing generic engagement for profit.
minus-square@Raiderkevlink10•1 month agoWhen they killed RIF, I went to the mobile site a handful of times. There was crap from subs I didn’t subscribe to for a reason on my front page. Super annoying. I stopped browsing at that point, and only go back for niche subs
