    Depends on the platform. Lemmy has no algorithms, just different sorting

        Well,ackkkktually a cooking recipe is also an algorithm, but you get what I meant xd

      Which if you wanna be pedantic, are also some form of algorithms, just way more transparent.

        I do want to be pedantic, and a simple sort doesn’t satisfy the definition of Recommender systems, which is what the word “algorithm” means in this context.
        Yes, sorting is an algorithm in the mathematical or CS sense, but I’d argue that the word has split into two meanings by now.

          Fair enough, I started studying for Engineering recently, and by now I’ve definitely have some math brainrot.
