You can disable these! It sounds like you’re talking about two different content curation features: some notification settings and “Home Feed Recommendations,” respectively.
You can edit your notification preferences in your notification settings[1]. It sounds like you’ll want to disable “trending posts” and “community recommendations,” and you can also edit any other settings there as you like.

Once that’s done you can disable “Enable home feed recommendations” in your feed settings[2]; that’s the machine learning (ML) feature that recommends content similar to what you’re already browsing via your home feed.

I appreciate the advice. I've done as you recommended, but I've done so before with mixed results. We'll see what happens this time.

Those notifications are intrusive and annoying, and by no means should be the default.
