How does this algorithm work? Can I change it for another one? Or influence the outcome?
Just checked it again: it’s 10/10
It depends on the client you choose to use.
The basic Nostr algorithm is no algorithm, or better you are the algorithm, so you just get a feed of who you actively follow.
Apps can then have different built-in logics to help discoverability (e.g. using your web of trust, or the most reacted/zapped content) or let you explore different external DVM (data vending machine, that actually are algorithms).

It seems to me that the logic in Primal is the most reacted/zapped content then, because the top trending posts have quite some reactions/zaps. Posts like “gm, this is my breakfast today” or “gm, a song I’ve just listened”. It’s like a decentralized instagram.

that is just the beginning... after few hours are coming the forwarders army, those that are reposting what was already posted by others, but not just let's say important or interesting notes... nooo, the whole thing in bulk.
So in fact all days you see same notes repeated over and over by a bunch of people.
Then on top of all this, you will see notes coming from other apps like fountain, olas, whatever, cooking receipts etc that you have no idea what they talk about.

Indeed. I noticed that.

It’s even worse, the first non-gm post is number 16 now, which says GN 🤣
Maybe it’s a dumbest yes/no algorithm ever: is there GM?

I had Damus before but was unhappy with it. Then switched to Primal. I haven’t seen any jokes, could you share some, if not too much time consuming for you?

^^^ There is a bug, this should point to:
