A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.
My biggest problem with lemmy is discovery.
I can’t find shit I want unless it comes across all and I find it interesting.
So what you’re saying is you miss the algorithm.
When the volume of potentially relevant and interesting content is enormous to the point that a standard human brain can’t possibly hope to filter through all of it in reasonable time, the algorithm makes plenty of sense.
I just want a fair algorithm that represents what is best for me and us.
Having an algorithm is something some people like. It isn’t as universally negative as some seem to think. The issue is when the algorithm is prioritizing engagement over enjoyment
No, what I miss are tools for searching for communities that actually work. While technically those use algorithms to find communities, but I don’t miss “the algorithm”.
