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

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.
