The All-Feed is very important to increase the content-quality of the threadiverse and therefore, ensure its existense. However, for smaller instances, there is only limited reason to put the All-Feed prominent in their UI, because their posts will never be present there. However, if they push people toward their the Local-Feed (which they currently do), people will only stay on their instance and overall discussion quality declines.

So, to truly overcome instance protectionism, we need a new feed, in which an instance can find a good balance between showing content from other instances and its own.

    I think the all feed doesn’t have all the subs, just the ones that have been subscribed to by anyone on the instance. local is a little more intuitive in that it’s just the local hosted subs to the instance.

      I just reread the post and never mind. that’s not what op is talking about. still I think it’s a n issue that needs addressed.
