Thank goodness we can trust everyone to care for one another and act appropriately after all the lessons learned from COVID 19. /s

They did come up with a good one over at sh.itjust.works

I'm gonna take this back a bit cause my understanding of the All tab has changed significantly from people's responses. It seems choosing a larger instance is better for discovery, cause the All tab you see is just what people in your instance are subscribed to only, not all of the federated lemmy instances and communities. So I'm going to stick with a large instance for now (lemmy.world), then if I see a lot of content better fitting what I'm looking for on another instance, join that, or at least make an alt there.

This is the best explanation of the difference between Subscribed, Local and All that I've run into so far. I thought I understood the All tab but apparently that was a huge misconception I had before asking this question.

Sounds like good advice, stick with what I'm on for now (lemmy.world) and see what smaller instances appeal to me as I explore. I'll probably end up doing this.

I'm also realizing from your post that the All feed is different from instance to instance? I thought it's basically everything from all federated Lemmy instances.

Then I hope the answers are enlightening to us both! Takeaways so far are just choose a smaller instance and see if you can find one that specializes in your specific interests. But making sure it's an instance that will be well and reliably run is the part I can't figure out yet.

Yeah, since I've joined lemmy.world has been down quite a few times so I can see the problem of too many people jumping onto one instance. Just figuring out how to find out if a smaller instance is both reliable and stable as you say... Not sure what metrics I can look at or if such metrics exist

I do feel like looking for a small instance is better from what I've read so far, but this is the first time I've heard control over my feed being different by instance, outside of instances defederating.

You're giving me 4 Chan flashbacks.

Still not a meme

You're confused, and therefore, according to the post, gay.

And now I get it. They got me

I imagine this having practical usage in maybe keeping things like sensors working in a plumbing or caving kinda context considering the low power currently created. Awesome!

I love it when my students outsmart my questions like this, honestly shows good intelligence and problem solving. Also encourages me to write my questions/prompts with more precision.

I love Into the Breach as well, but it keeps kicking my ass XD

FTL: Faster Than Light, a pixel sci fi rouge like where you manage a ship and crew jumping point to point on a mission through space. I keep coming back to it and it's always fun. There's an amazing mod community that I'll just starting to explore as well

I rarely hear people talk about it but whenever I do, it's nothing but love.
