So they need to show no feed at all?

Every feed requires an algorithm, even if it’s a simple one.

    No, simple chronological order doesn't require one.

    Cool, what shall we call the set of instructions that tell the computer to sort the posts into simple chronological order?

    "algorithm" is typically used to refer to a recommendation algorithm. Sort by date may technically be an algorithm, but you're not making yourself look smarter, you're looking like a pedant.
