I imagine it probably uses publicly available data like the posts you replied to, liked or reshared. Apparently the code used to run the bot is FOSS, you can see it here - github.com/Roboron3042/mastoes…

I think probably because you're on Friendica it might've failed to get the data from your instance directly so instead relied on federated posts - which are probably incomplete and likely explains why you're seeing people who you don't know. In my case everyone in there was either a friend or some popular account or project that I knew of.
