It has plenty of sorting algorithms. It doesn't have suggestion algorithms and that's a good thing.

Suggestion algorithms make the social media world go ‘round.

What do you mean? Can you sort your mastodon feed in any way other than the equivalent of "new" in lemmy?

What I meant was that twitter had an algorithm to promote post / users that it felt would get you more engaged. That's what the blue checkmark has become now. A way of paying to get your posts promoted.

The lack of that algorithm means you need to go look for content rather than having it spoon fed to you.
