Comment on Can someone explain the Fediverse to me In simple terms?
Corgana@startrek.website 1 year agoYou’ve got it mostly right. But this part is wrong:
is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I’m on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?
(assuming you’re on desktop browser) If you want to browse only lemmy.world communities, click on “local” at the top: Image.
“Subscribed” is all communities you specifically subscribed to (on any instance in the lemmyverse) and “all” is everything on lemmy.world AND all communities anyone on lemmy.world is subscribed to.

Is it possible to see every community, from every instance, in all?

Not exactly, because instances don’t sync communities nobody is subscribed to. That said, if you’re on a large instance like .world with tons of users, it’s likely you’ll see pretty much anything that could be considered worth seeing.

Oook, that explains why my .world acct, and this one are so vastly different. I pretty much just see news and tech from this instance (and porn, obviously)
