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 prefer that to something like Facebook or Twitter which tries to guess what you personally want to see.
Oh most definitely, fuck all that black-box algorithm nonsense. “we know what you want, and you will like it!”
It always seemed very self-reinforcing and circular to me, like “we showed you a dog and a cat, you clicked on a dog, so now we show you 8 dogs and 2 cats, and you mainly click on dogs! All dogs from here!”
It’s straight up dangerous. It leads people into echo chambers and they feel like they found that content with their own free will. Antivax people during covid and extreme “conservatives” are prime examples
