    It all depends on your home instance. The feed for All that you see will only ever show content from communities that other users on your instance subscribe to. So on a smaller instance, you’ll get less variety. On a very large instance like LW, you’ll get a lot.

        Nah, it just takes one user to get a community onto an instance’s All feed. After that, frequency and position are (mostly) based on the posts’ overall popularity. It’s more complicated than just that, but I don’t really understand how federation is incorporated in that.

        And to put it in perspective, lemm.ee and startrek.website combined user total is <10k. sh.itjust.works has 28k and lemmy.world has 138k. Bound to be more diversity with numbers like that.
