If it is Top, then that is what people are choosing to upvote. But you don’t have to browse by Top. PieFed even offers keyword filters, plus the ability to unsubscribe from all such communities while also allowing you to see them with just the touch of a button to go to a Topic Feed showing it when you (rarely) actually do want it. You could also replicate this behavior in Lemmy, but it takes having one account per Internet area and that’s a huge pain. Or you could just sort by New. Or block the users submitting such content. The list of configuration options available to you is practically endless, and nowhere explained in the slightest degree that would be helpful:-).
Sadly this is not true. We do have a recommendation system, called Top. And it spamms me with enraging american politics when I go to All.
What if I told you that you don’t have to do that?

[email protected] does a pretty good job of keeping that stuff out.
I prefer “scaled”, which is even more like a recommendation system.
I prefer “new”.
