Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Uh... no it's not.
I'm sorry, but what you're doing is actively making this service harder to use by suggesting that 'all' should only mean 'the communities other community members have subscribed to that contain that string.'
Where do the community members even find the the ones to subscribe to? Oh, they use a third-party service or 'just know' because... whatever reason.
Gee, fediverse design strikes again. Sorry, it has to be said. It really does.
The Internet also has all information made available to it, not all information that is in the universe. Same as the fediverse users, internet users rely on search engines to find what they are looking for.
When all would mean all available in fediverse you would get issues:
It's to the user to search what he wants to see. I for one have 3 'main' accounts (world, ml and studio) and I subscribe to specific communities for each account (ml for development, studio for music related, world for 'rest') and each one I open the feed with subscribed. I'm totally not interested in all, to much junk (even on Lemmy).
To freely quote: All, you want all? You can't handle all. ;)
I cannot believe you're making this argument.
I'm sorry, I can, and it's a big reason why fediverse design has a lot of progress to make.
I can't believe this reaction. You sound like you think CompuServ was internet and got replaced by Google. (or even didn't now the time before Google)
I admit that it would be nice to have a list of all available communities when looking at the all list in the communities section. When federating with another node, don't get everything, just the community list or the other node so people can subscribe when they want to. But it's just a nice to have, not a huge issue worth stating that 'a lot' is needed.
There were (and still are) separate communities before digg and reddit, the latter got to big for their own good and now the federated solution has nodes with a few to a lot of communities. It's a nice balance between the fragmented communities before the big corporation invasion and the colossal sites. Pick what you like and when you like the Reddit setup, they're still alive. (although the content quality is dropping fast)
🥱
Calm down buddy. Your analogy has no water and you're clearly fueled by emotion.
Take a step back, breath some fresh air, then come back when you're ready to discuss civilly. Right now you've said nothing of substance.
