I’ve noticed that the “All” feed on Lemmy is pretty much the same across all instances, showing posts from every instance regardless of the specific focus or community vibe of the instance you’re on. This seems like a missed opportunity to make the experience more tailored and engaging for each instance’s unique audience.
For example, if there were an instance dedicated to literature lovers, wouldn’t it make sense for the “All” feed on that instance to prioritize content that’s more relevant to people who enjoy books, poetry, and writing? Instead of being a global feed that shows everything from memes to tech news, it could reflect the interests and values of the instance’s community.
I feel like making the “All” feed more tailored to each instance would not only improve user experience but also strengthen the sense of community within each instance. What do you think? Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!
Allfetches content from every* instance that your instance knows about. In my opinion, making it different per instance is a horrible idea, because it would mean that some content may or may not be visible from a particular instance, and I’d have to keep checking different instances. Not to mention this would be confusing for people new to Lemmy (e.g. “why does this instance’sAlllook different from that one’s? I thought instances didn’t matter?”)*except defederated instances, of course.
edit: So, thanks to this comment, I understood what you’re requesting, and it does seem like an interesting idea. However, rather than a seperate feed, this should just be a sort option.
