Stop flocking to the core worlds, join the fringe! We have the same amenities... Only downside is browsing by All is less diverse

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, as long as the server is decently large enough it should be fine Like lemm.ee or sopuli.xyz

[–] deadsenator@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Yes, Sopuli seems like a main server. Love it.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my totally unbiased opinion you should join lemm.ee

[–] tron@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No no no no no. We don't want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn't de-federated with lemmynsfw so you'll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.

block the porn communities or disable NSFW, that's what I did (at least before lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated from them)

[–] travysh@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I'm interested in but don't know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

lemm.ee probably has a virtually identical /all to lemmy.world, right? They've got like 20k users

[–] travysh@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that's in lemmy.world that's not on lemm.ee

For a while, because content was more thin, I'd run through all of active, then all of hot, then I'd look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn't seen yet

[–] remkit@lemmy.kya.moe 6 points 1 year ago

Almost definitely, it's hard to imagine there's a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to

[–] remkit@lemmy.kya.moe 7 points 1 year ago

Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!

[–] remkit@lemmy.kya.moe 9 points 1 year ago

One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!

[–] Reborn2966@feddit.it 5 points 1 year ago

what if every instance used the lemmy community seeder?

What are the few fringes here ?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 6 points 1 year ago

Check out lemmyverse.net and look at instances

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So I don't know enough about the inner workings, but on Reddit I never browsed all at all - it was 100% communities I'd subscribed to. At the moment I'm happy with Lemmy All, but if in the future when content gets too much, would I say, be able to host my own instance in my Android device and my subscriptions will just pull in the content I'm interested in? That way I am not putting load on other instances, and I can take my configuration with me without needing a cloud service?

[–] raptir@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You can also just browse "subscribed" instead of all.

[–] AzuleBlade@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

My understanding is you can't host your own instance on an Android device, you'd need a server. You could stand up a server on Oracle Cloud, their Always Free tier is pretty generous.

Content fringe world inhabitant here:

Why is our All tab less diverse?

Is it not just dependent on how many instances your instance is federating with?

[–] danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The main issue is that Lemmy instances, by default, only know about their local communities and remote communities that the users of that server have deliberately subscribed to. Some smaller instances are running federation helpers which are bots that search for remote communities to fix this.

[–] psilocybin@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks for clarifying. Makes sense

Good to learn about some of the piping underneath

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

All is based on what people on that instance are subscribed to most, not just federation

[–] psilocybin@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Makes sense. It only pulls in what users on the instance subscribe to.

Thanks for clarifying!

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 4 points 1 year ago

You subscribe to individual communities. So unless a user or the admin already subscribed to a community there won't be any content there from those communities.

Even after subscribing only new content (and old content that has had replies/likes) will show up.

[–] Nemoychocs@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you explain this? Why? If I follow the same communities that in the bigger instance?

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.

Ex. If you're on lemmyworld you'll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won't be brought to your All

[–] Nemoychocs@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Ok! I had misconception of “All” I thought that it shows literally All! Thanks for the explanation!!
