I know this is a contentious topic around here but what's the news of Loops' recommendation algorithm? Does it have one?

If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.

Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though and it's now open source).

Mastodon and others should take note.

I agree. For stuff like Mastodon and Loops I really want "For You", not a simple chronological feed.

Irrc, a 'For You' algorithm is on the road map, but it doesn't currently have it.

Probably won’t have one for a while. Pixelfed still doesn’t have one afaik and that’s another of their projects.

No. Posts are chronological.
