  • All fetches content from every* instance that your instance knows about. In my opinion, making it different per instance is a horrible idea, because it would mean that some content may or may not be visible from a particular instance, and I’d have to keep checking different instances. Not to mention this would be confusing for people new to Lemmy (e.g. “why does this instance’s All look different from that one’s? I thought instances didn’t matter?”)

    *except defederated instances, of course.


    edit: So, thanks to this comment, I understood what you’re requesting, and it does seem like an interesting idea. However, rather than a seperate feed, this should just be a sort option.











  • Good feature, I don’t see any problems.

    1. Quotes are controversial because Twitter people used it to foster toxicity. However, on Mastodon, we have actually active mods. Ideally, you should be self-hosting your own instance anyways and be your own mod.

    2. Also, it seems very well implemented, much better than on Twitter: Mastodon says it will allow users to control whether their posts can be quoted. Also, users will be notified if someone quotes them, and they’ll be able to withdraw their post from the quoted context at any time.

    3. Most importantly, Mastodon has an active developer who responds to feedback, and PULL REQUESTS, ISSUE TRACKERS, AND GITHUB DISCUSSIONS exist!

    4. If you still completely disagree with this decision, fork the project, create a patch, and start your own server with the patched Mastodon!
