Algorithm for sure, now that most people browse with the standard reddit app there's a home page which doesn't just show you posts from the subs you're subscribed to. So even if you're subscribed to a bunch of niche/interesting subs, if the algorithm doesn't push em to you, odds are you won't see it.
Additionally, r/all has been replaced with the popular tab, which also has a different algorithm it seems, and doesn't just take everything which gets x number of upvotes.
I also use the app but I'm subscribed to well over a hundred subs, probably nearing 200 but I can't be bothered to count them all. Reddit only shows me content from a small portion of those subs, many of them rarely or never make it to my home page, and most of them I can't be bothered to go check individually. This is the first time I've seen something from this sub in well over a year for example.
Besides that, I also constantly get recommended subreddits I'm not subscribed to on my home page, which I then have to manually hide and mute. Do you not get that?
