I’m new to Lemmy and trying to understand how the All feed works. Doing some reading it looks like it is populated by communities that people on the instance I’m apart of have join. Is that correct?

    Not exactly all instances, but all instances federated with and cached by your home instance. (Sometimes it doesn’t sync quite right)

      Indeed. OP, you are on lemmy.ml, one of the largest instances, so you’ll see almost all the content there is on Lemmy.

      Someone on a much smaller instance wouldn’t see that much.

      Also, welcome!

        I think that’s what shocked me. I went into all and couldn’t figure out rhyme or reason I was seeing so much!
