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?

I think of those as predatory algorithms. Tailored for engagement/screen-time based on everything they know specifically about you

I do to, but don’t you think when most people say “algorithm” these days that’s what they’re referring to?

I think they do. I'm not* a prescriptivist but things are going to get confusing. We're going to need terms for when we want to be specific.
