Is there a way, without going to the source code, to check how the "explore" panel on mastodon, or the "discover" panel on Pixelfed, are generated.
I find it easy to understand my options for the feed on Lemmy - like "hot", "active", "new", and independently "subscribed", "local", and "all". I also like that I can customize it. Can I customize what I see on Mastodon/Pixelfed in a similar way?

They are "trending" pages that rely on a basic algorithm looking at how often a post has been liked and reposted.
What you can customize in Mastodon is your main feed, i.e. the feed of accounts/hashtags you follow. But you need an external app for that, for example FediAlgo: fedialgo.thms.uk/
