First of all I want to say how much I love the app and the daily updates. Every time it gets better and better.
Recently I’ve noticed my feed has become almost entirely the main meme instance. The algorithm gives me 4 meme posts then a technology post then load more memes and then maybe a few other of the big instances abs then more posts from l/meme. There’s no variety or fair selection to my subscriptions, only memes because they have the most upvotes??
I get a completely different and arguably better feed of posts when I use Memmy so I believe this is voyager related.
Anyone else have this?

There’s not really an algorithm. All the feed filters in voyager are time and traction based as far as I’m aware. Part of having social media that isn’t primarily designed to influence our thinking in order to buy things or generally encourage you to spend all your time on it means we have to sacrifice having content served up to us based on our viewing habits (I.e. intrusive profile models based on personal data). This means lemmy feeds will sometimes have odd mixes of content because you’re just seeing things in mostly chronological order. Mostly is italicized because there’s some traction based filters but that’s irrespective of the type of content.
Maybe memmy has introduced its own algo? Would be curious if anyone that knows for certain could comment.
My feeds in memmy and voyager are 100% identical
Edit:
If OP is seeing different posts in each app then they simply have a different sort selected in each app
