Is there even an "Algo"? I always just see every post of the people who i follow, and posts they like or retweet, and absolutely nothing else (other than the occasional ad).

Then again i keep a very tight leash on who i follow, and keep the number of follows very low, so i know exactly what sort of content will show up. Is that not how most people use twitter?

There are two main twitter feeds:

- Home: the algo one that twitter wants you to use. Mostly those you follow but not 100%; this will sometimes show very popular tweets or maybe something your followees liked (but didn't RT).

- Latest: which is just the (imo, good) original "everything from those you follow, reverse chronologically".
