    I don’t mind algorithm feeds as long as it’s not the default view and as long as it’s not mingled with the normal feed. Reddit is an example of the latter case. They mix “promoted” content as well as “you visited a subreddit once so we think you’ll like this post” content along with posts from subreddits you subscribe to. I find that annoying.

    So I wouldn’t mind if Lemmy had an algorithm to recommend posts as long as it was in a “recommended posts” section. Then people who want it could click over to it and people who don’t like that could just ignore it.
