Comment on Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think

What? No, use “All” to browse through federated instances and then subscribe to any interesting communities across the whole Fediverse. Then stick to the “subscribed” feed and only occasionally recheck “All” if you’re bored and looking for new communities with none in particular; otherwise, run searches for them.

Let me explain how it works when you self host like me:

“All” starts out completely empty, there are no federated instances to find this way.

You then have to browse communities on other instances and subscribe to them on your own instance. Only then will posts start showing up in “All”.

Since there’s only 1 user, the list of communities in “All” is the exact same list of communities in “Subscribed”

For most people yes, you can just browse “All” unless you’re on a smaller instance, since someone on your Instance has probably already subscribed to the community you’re looking for.

  Huh, I didn’t realize that All including all federated communities must be a Thunder-specific feature.
