    There are no algorithms that shadow-drop the topic like on other platforms. You knew exactly what I meant when I typed it, but chose a different path.

    Yes, I knew exactly what you meant which is why I challenged it.

    What they were describing is a part of the Lemmy algorithm. Posts with more engagement get higher spots on the Active and Hot sort orders.

    What you said was basically a strawman.
