This would push users toward local posts (especially on smaller instances) while still supporting a better distribution of user engagement over the threadiverse. And if you don’t trust that it was implemented correctly – you can simply check it by counting the amounts of posts against your chosen probabilities.
Edit: changed feed name to mixed-feed
There’s already an algorithm. The difference between an algorithm on Lemmy and Reddit is that the algorithm on Lemmy is public.
Where does the algorithm show up? Does it modify the all feed? Or the local?
I didn’t know about this at all. Thanks!
It modifies the feed according to your sorting option, which uses different algorithms.
