Lemmy is...

Half lame 4chan, half decent Linux support group.

You know what I've come to realise about Lemmy. It's only as good at the amount of work that you put in. By that I mean, most of Lemmy is like a secret hipster bar that you have no idea where it is until you know where it is and that's Lemmy, you need to find the communities that you want or it will look like a tumbleweed convention.

Or just sit in all and wait for them to show

I think that's what OPs been doing. Also I think ALL only catches what your server is federated with.

>ALL only catches what your server is federated with.

how could this be different?!

You’d need a central list, which would defeat the purpose of a decentralized system.

Or set it up so that when you share add community of an instance to your instance, it adds every community that community’s instance had indexed, which will very quickly populate all the major instances.

If ALL featured every server running Lemmy, it would be very different and very busy. As it stands, there's servers running Lemmy that your ALL never sees simply because it doesn't know they exist and they're busy AF too.

What is Lemmy really

What is a Lemming?

A miserable little pile of secrets.

If it's on the internet, it's not a secret.

Solid advice, but some places are more private than others. For instance, I'm willing to share things in my small discord server of 9 friends that I wouldn't here.

Nah, 4chan is way less filtered.

You can't make any kind of offensive joke here.

Make an offensive joke in the right spot and you'll get your entire instance defederated

And all memes! (mostly Star Trek, but I hear that beans were once in fashion...)
