Could you expand a bit more? Reddit is algorithmically ranked based on upvotes, and there are clearly lots of communities there.https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-reddit-ranking-algorithms-work-ef111e33d0d9 …

Those are leaderboards, not feeds.

It may be a hot take, but it's factually wrong. Algorithmic ranking is just a way of sorting content. How that content is selected is up to the system and the user. The process of selecting content can certainly be definitional of a community.

Additionally, people don't use a social network to create as a primary function. They use a social network to consume – theoretically things that they like. If you don't give people things that they like to consume they have no reason to come in no reason to stay.

It'd be epic if you could toggle how content appears on your feed

This is exactly correct. On the message boards/forums of yore, threads would rise to the top if humans kept them active. You could revive old threads and keep new ones raging until a mod stepped in. The community made those choices, not an algorithm.

Chronological feeds may not have these features but people are, again, in charge of deciding what content gets shown and when. Algorithmic feeds are more like broadcast TV.
