Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don’t we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?
I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.
it also bothers me when people say “my algorithm” to refer to the thing that recommends posts to them. people shouldn’t ever say “my algorithm” unless they personally own a copy of the kick-ass prog-metal band
