I suggest calling it a 'ranking algorithm' or 'engagement-driven ranking algorithm' to be more precise.

  That trending feed on mastodon would still literally be that, ranking posts on how much they're engaged with and further driving engagement on the platform. So I'm just wondering what hairs are even there to split.

    Yes, but trending posts are a sidebar, not the main show, right?

      They are the main show if you're browsing as a guest/not signed in or signed up.
