Doesn't viewing by "All" show all subs in the feed
Yeah, but this only shows communities followed by at least one user of your instance.
Yep. I host my own instance, and /all is essentially the same as /subscribed for me, plus a few posts that I've pulled manually by clicking links.
Yep that's how all these federated services work. Your instance can only show you stuff it already knows about, so someone needs to have been first to find and follow it.
Sounds right to me. I have my own small instance so All just shows me the same thing as my regular one. If I go to All on one of the bigger ones I see a lot more.
Itβs not true. You did realize it.
What I enjoyed doing on The Other Place was going to a random community and seeing its top posts, its hot posts. It gave a sense of how vibrant or interesting it was.
