I am on lemmy.world. In the last couple of days, I’ve been flooded with “comicsoutofcontext” contents. Nothing wrong with that, but why?
Some other times, it will be nsfw contents. And the next day, some other random community will flood my feed. Nothing wrong with that either.
But, I don’t understand how this all works. It seems that the priorization algorithm sometimes goes wild. Or maybe there are only hundreds of users actively posting and when some guy posts a batch, I’m flooded with it?
This used to happen when new subs opened. Most of my feed was just them.
My assumption was that as the sub grew the posts kept getting voted higher than any other on the sub and therefore pushed as top material relative to the subs normal amount of up votes.
