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?

There was a recent boost…. From Boost. Maybe those that came over are more posters rather than lurkers like we’re used to getting. I can’t say I’ve seen some major change though so I have no clue as to what you’re talking about.

There’s no real algorithm as we know it. I take that word as spying on you and taking your likes into mind to feed you more things. Doesn’t work like that at all on here.

A lot of us made accounts, or at least started regularly using the platform, when Boost was released. Previously there wasn't a client for my phone that I liked much and I reddit/lemmy almost exclusively on mobile these days.

I think you'll see even more activity when reddit actually slams the door on 3rd party clients. Most still work for now provided your account meets some annoying minor criteria.

I’m glad for sure. Welcome.

I'm one of those boost people. I'd believe if you subscribed to have the app get installed in an uncertain future where it was ready for Lemmy you probably where pretty interested on it and not a casual browser

Funny I find myself using Jerboa and Sync as I'm too lazy to change instances and views within one app. It's all about the instance and the default mode I'm finding

To be fair I was primarily a lurker on Reddit, too. Occasional commenter. Same here, lol.
