What Algorithms from Popular Platforms do you Like the Most? (lemm.ee)

I just read this post about someone who would like to have a choice to select an algorithm for their feed. However, developers cannot create something so vague without some ideas or inspiration. There is an issue with many great ideas for a customizable algorithm, but the I've never come across a website that has an algorithm like that. All websites seem to have their algorithm, and that's what users are stuck with. Although some websites have machine learning algorithms that adapt to user preferences.

I'm interested in hearing about what algorithms you like. And if you have any ideas on how to make Lemmy's algorithm better or more customizable.

The one I like most is YouTube, where it shows everything from the last few days and then only the most popular content from the last few weeks, months, and even years. I would like something similar, where the further I browse, the more votes a post must have to show up in the feed.
