A more powerful front page sorting algorithm that drives engagement in a more organic manner and that increases the exposure of users to content that they're likely to interact with.
That requires user profiling, something most lemmy users are vocally against.
It also requires a data science team and a bunch of additional legal stuff.
Agreed. I’ve always had the impression you made your own algorithm on Lemmy by subscribing to communities, so there is really no need for “an approved algorithm” that requires gathering data from the users here.
