There are only feeds for Subscribed, Local and All. Things can only show up there is they fall under one of those categories. Then the secondary filter determines the order. New is going to be chronological, Hot is some formula of votes per hour, active is some formula of comments per hour, old is probably reverse chronologically. etc…
It won’t ever factor in what you visit and engage with on its own.
Thanks that makes sense. I get why some people are against it, but ranking on your engagement can be super useful imo. Like if I comment on a couple niche communities a lot, I don’t want those to be drowned out by the much larger communities.
I thoroughly enjoy being able to design my own feed, and not have some corporation shove stuff down my throat in order to keep my engagement up. The past couple times I’ve checked facebook (primarily to check events) I’ve left again almost immediately, because I’m so put off by the way they shove stuff in my face just to find out what I’m interested in. I’ve even noticed that if I spend more time looking at a post from some source (no clicks/interaction, just reading text on an image) they start funnelling more of that into my feed.
I’ve been using “Subscribed” and “Top Day” for a while. Works well for me. If I used “All” there would be a large number of communities I’d need to block. Easier to just join the ones you want to see.

I think active has got something to do with some formula of comments per hour.

To add to this, hot seems to be local, top day seems to be lemmy-wide
