  No. That’s an algorithm.

  So is filtering to only friends and hiding blocked users.

  So no algo, no feed at all really.

    you just get posts in precisely whateverthefuck order the server ends up pulling them from its database, which isn’t an algorithm because obviously that means the Lord himself is deciding the order of your feed.
