both, but isn't algorithm(we don't have that here) but problems with federations is being resolved and the code is being optimized , causing less problems on the servers
There's a 'New' algorithm, an 'Old' algorithm, a 'Hot' algorithm, an 'Active' algorithm, a 'Most Comments' algorithm, a 'New Comments' algorithm, a...
I'm looking forward to the new Scaled algorithm that comes with 0.19
That's going to be a game changer. There are so many smaller communities I never see in my feed that will stay small forever because their posts just stay buried in my feed and no one sees them.
A sorting option isn't an algorithm...
They are implementations of algorithms. They are what people mean when they say "algorithm" when talking about social media. The only difference I can think of is that it's not tailored specifically for you, but that's what "frontpage" instead of "all" does.
incorrect.
It only becomes an algorithm when it's using some "data" to help automatically determine a sort procedure, or decide what you see or don't see. Until then, it's just a filter.
For example; sorting by date...not an algorithm. tracking your views to automatically determine what you would likely want to see at the top of your list...algorithm.
Algorithm:
a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
Algorithm is a very generic word. Trying to gatekeep with those criteria makes no sense as everyone would have a different definition for algorithm.
How do you think it decides what "hot" is? It's not using a thermometer.
What would you call sorting?
Algorithm doesn't mean what you think it does.
Fascinating handle you've got. I wonder if you're Danish 😉
Candy man
What do you mean? The movie?
There are many sorting algorithms in place here
There's algorithms. Just not user tailored ones.
