Why is Mastodon giving me a list of folks that it suggests I follow? And why does it say that some of them are popular suggestions and some are personalized suggestions? #Mastodon

Probably to help you populate your timeline. Some of them are just people on the network who are followed by a lot of toot.cat users, others I'm assuming are people you've been following. Mastodon, like most Fediverse inferfaces, doesn't have algorithms, so you need to follow people and hashtags to see them on your timeline, and any suggestions you get for that are going to be based on some pretty basic metrics.
