that's really weird, the query parameter SimilarTo was removed in the EFcore migration (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/12798, commit 3e7ce5e1df), so in MoviesController.GetSimilarTo similar is just empty. I have no idea why.

Partially fixed by #15594

Movies now appear, but because the SimilarTo logic was removed in the EF Core refactor, the populated movies are repetitive.

Just wanted to report that I'm having the same behaviour on my end (Jellyfin server version 10.11.5). All of the "Because you watched..." suggestions for both movies and tv shows get populated with the first 10 movies/shows from my library in alphabetical order, although the "More Like This" recommendations on the individual movie/show pages, while questionable in terms of quality, do work and provide different movies/series.

'More like this' seems rather random. I watched Dune and instead of getting Dune: Part Two recommended I got Bambi.

The "More Like This" and "Movie Suggestions" used to use the SimilarTo query:
aefb9b2cff/Emby.Server.Implementations/Data/SqliteItemRepository.cs (L2275)

Now:

The "More Like This" matches on genres and tags:
a1e0e4fd9d/Jellyfin.Api/Controllers/LibraryController.cs (L792)

The "Movie Suggestions" returns all movies:
a1e0e4fd9d/Jellyfin.Api/Controllers/MoviesController.cs (L278)

I don't believe anyone on the team is working on this. Anyone is welcome to implement a method for matching. Probably best to open up a meta discussion if you plan to do so: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-meta/discussions

Edit: Looks like Shadowghost is already on top of the issue: #15970
