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!

    No need to add it. It exists. Just switch the view from “All” to “Local” and sort by “Hot”.

      No, that would show posts made on your local instance sorted by Hot. Not global posts but sorted by what’s voted Hot by your instance’s users.

          No, they clarified that they want the All feed from across the fediverse to be able to be sorted/curated according to the local instances preferences

            That’s what local is! Your instace’s local feed. I feel like we’re agreeing with each other, but there’s some confusion.

              No, your local feed only shows posts from communities hosted on your instance.

              The all feed shows posts from communities hosted anywhere in the Threadiverse. The OP wants this, content from anywhere, but sorted/tailored by interactions your local users made.
