did the algorithm get better or did lemmy just get more populated? (lemmy.world)

Seems like the feeds are more active and I'm not hitting things with 3 upvotes 20 minutes into my scroll. Did Connect change something, did Lemmy or are we just seeing some population increase from Boost?

I don't think it's a good idea to try to redefine what "algorithm" means in the context of social media. Hot and top are sorting algorithms, so are the personalized feeds other websites try to present to you. Saying "hot" is not an algorithm because that's not what people "mean" is just going to cause confusion.
