I don't think the "algorithm", has to have that nefarious vibe that people think. Lemmy already has sorting algorithms...they are just shit. If they balanced it so that quantity from large communities doesn't flood out smaller communities, it would be a much better browsing experience. Devs don't need to mess with the type of content being displayed to us, just tamper down the volume from the larger communities. Reddit was good at doing this.
I agree that algorithms are more often good for these task. But we are not many :D
