Does Lemmy have an “algorithm”? Like if I engage with one community a lot, will that show up more in my feed?

I do see some clumping of communities in /all. Sometimes every other post will be from a certain community. I notice it most of its something nsfw.

I do not know what it is that the sorting algorithm decides that I'm into short haired ladies this one day and into furry the other, but somehow it does.

I think what you are seeing is a small number of users making a large number of posts to certain communities in a short time. Lemmy isn’t large enough to have an organic flow of content from different people, given that most users are lurkers.

Yeah I figured something like that. It's just curious to be assigned a certain 'flavor of the day' in such a random fashion/

I had to block Star Wars Memes.
