Astral, this is exactly what's going on here. With the current size of the community, it isn't too difficult to get the majority of the most popular posts in your feed.

At this point, I think a more accurate name might be 'active' rather than 'popular', because it does in fact measure activity as much as the number of shares. I'm considering changing the weight of activity on the equation to pull up a list of posts that have a greater number of shares.
