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!

    I don’t think changing the default behaviour of the All feed is wise, but adding a sorting option like Hot(Local) or something to the All feed to see what is trending in terms of votes from your local instance could be interesting for medium sized instances. But for any small or tiny instance this would be essentially worthless so it would have to be optional.
