Viewing All + Active feels like drinking from a firehose
Everyone is talking about how there isn't much content, but when I view All + Active the amount of stuff that pops up for me is almost overwhelming. Is it just me?

It is not even all. Just stuff others on our instance subscribe to.
So I am not really all that savvy with how this works yet. What exactly determines what you see on all on any given instance? You mentioned things that locals are subscribed to, does that mean it's the only way things show up on all on a particular instance? I was under the assumption that it was just things that were popular on all of the other instances.
I am not sure Lemmy knows about anything that is not subscribed by someone. Same when searching for communities. My impression. I am new too though.
I assume it is the local feed from all of the instances we are federated with mixed in
The existence of this project https://lemmy.nowsci.com/post/2759 suggests this is not standard.
