All these issues only apply to large generalized instances like lemmy.world and not smaller instances where the local feed is the curated high quality feed.
It would be IMHO better to remove the all feed and in general get away from large generalized instances that are harmful to the federation.
But why? That goes against the whole idea of federation. If no one uses the All feed you never discover other communities. You will end up with thousands of independent reddit clones.
There are many better ways to discover new communities and the all feed causes a lot of moderation issues (basically as soon as a post has enough upvotes to show up near the top of the hot sorting on all, you see loads of low effort troll posts).
But I wasn’t seriously suggesting to remove it, rather that the local feed is much more useful than the all feed (on thematic instances) and thus if any feed would be removed if should be the all feed first.

I agree, I feel like most of the “feed” issues are simply because users are in big instances where the “Local” feed indeed becomes meaningless.
Something that would however be cool would be a way to view the Local feed from another instance, without having to actually go to the other instance.
