Lemmy absolutely.

no algorithm
no ads
actual real people in the comments
the ability for third parties to make apps
the fact that it's not mainstream means most of the people on here are at least a little nerdy which I am here for.
feels a lot like what reddit used to be 15 years ago before the age of algorithms and bots everywhere.

Lemmy 100% has an algorithm. It's not a complicated one but any method for determining what content shows up is an algorithm.

Fair enough, but I'd say the other commenters have articulated what I meant pretty well
