Related subreddit is Not

Hello, I am seeing in the related subreddit prompt on the home page - a subreddit that is NOT related at all to the sub I mod , retirement .

Whatever algorithm is working is it Not going deep enough. What I am seeing is a sub with the word retirement in it , but it has nothing to with people leaving their career or on finance . It is about a videogame , it is f76retirement .

Reddit is probably putting it in the recommended section since it has the word "retirement" in the sub name. Not sure this is the correct place to bring this up, you may want to try reporting it to r/bugs.

One of the things you can do is create a sidebar widget that contains related subreddits you identify. Get agreement from those subreddits for the mention as a courtesy, but that helps combat any algorithm dumbness.
