   Mastodon already has algorithms, but most people don’t think about it in that sense.
   
   There’s Home, Local, and Global feeds—all reverse chronological. However, you can also apply filters to these feeds.
   
   There’s also a “Trending” feed in the Explore section. This is not reverse chronological, but shows popular posts that are recent.
   
   You can also follow hashtags and build lists. These features build algorithmic relevancy.
   
   What people usually mean when they say “algorithms” is a black box algorithm for which the social network decides relevancy for you. I’m not in favour of that kind of algorithm.
