The algorithm here is pretty simple. It's an open source project and you can go directly see that the code isn't designed to maximise the user's engagement, but rather simply to elevate more recent or popular posts. Sites like YouTube and Facebook develop much more complex recommendation algorithms with the goal of keeping people on their platform as long as possible.
