It's not just lemmy that's benefiting from Elon Musk.

This does make more sense.

I think "for you" is just everything you follow (people and topics).

Nope, when I click it, it suggests people to follow that I haven't followed yet. I just checked.

Oh, that must be new. I only had three tabs, one for my stuff, one for all the local stuff, and one for everything.

There were recommended posts and stuff but they were kind of buried in some menus.

Sounds like stuff has changed. It's only been a few months. I'll stop saying there's no algorithm now, haha.

It's set up weird on mobile, you have to go to the tabs in the search buttons and slide them over to find the "for you" tab. I don't really connect with who they're recommending so not sure how they decide. I do see a lot of things I'm interested in by following certain #hashtags though.
