There are always algorithms. You literally can't make software without them. As far as algorithms for choosing which content is displayed, Lemmy still has to have one of those to weight votes vs. age. Is a post that's +50/-0 from five minutes ago the best to show you, or the one that's +400/-100 from an hour ago, or the one that's +1000/-100 from last year?
