My disclaimer is that I am excited using the fediverse as alternative from Reddit (I have switched to Mastodon from Twitter).

I have been trying a combination of lemmy.world, kbin and a lemmy app like MemmyApp. Each one, I look at “All” and try various things like “hot”, “active”, “top day” and etc. Each one produces different results. And it is not even close. Rarely are there same posts across each. Also, on lemmy.world, after I sort on one of these, a few seconds go by and it won’t stop scrolling with a blast from same communities and users.

So… what is it I am doing wrong? How do I make my experience more enjoyable? Am I the only one?

(Note: I am aware that kbin/lemmy have their own local and therefore, that would be different, but the “All” filter?)

    Thanks. So maybe I misunderstood something… you are saying that on instances, people have to follow something on another instance for it to show up in “that” instance as a whole? I didn’t know that. What about specific posts? If I post something on lemmy.world, will it show up in another instance or does someone have to upvote/boost that on that instance before it is seen?
