minus-square@brucethemoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink26•9 months agoThere’s apparently another issue that’s depriorotizing “niche” subs in the recommendation algorithm, that some mod claimed was a bug. It’s pretty obvious, they’re just prioritizing generic engagement for profit.
minus-square@Raiderkev@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•9 months agoWhen they killed RIF, I went to the mobile site a handful of times. There was crap from subs I didn’t subscribe to for a reason on my front page. Super annoying. I stopped browsing at that point, and only go back for niche subs
minus-square@vxx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•9 months agoMy email is still subscribed to reddit sending me recommendations. It’s always the most boring posts of unrelated subreddits that have like 6 votes. The company is so incompetent it’s astonishing.
