      Yah for a few months I would see shit like that and block the community or sometimes instance. Worked fairly well.

      your /all feed is populated by the total subsriptions of everyone who uses your instance.

      If one user joins your instance and subscribes to 20 furry communities on other instances your /all feed would start populating with those 20 comms.

        Interesting! I haven’t noticed that. I’ll make some more accounts on different instances!

          you can usually view the /all feed without even making an account but i don’t know if nsfw goes into /all without an account so you may have to do that to get the spicy stuff

        Woah, so different accounts will have completely different /all feeds? Wish there was a way to toggle without creating new accounts.

          sort of, accounts on different instances all have distinct /all feeds, based on the sum of all the subscriptions of its users.

          If you join a larger instance the /all feed is more varied.

          Since you never see furry stuff on /all we can deduce that there aren’t many (if any) dbzer0 users subscribed to that content.

            So multiple users of an instance could all subscribe to the same community to manipulate what’s on /all in that instance?

            Thanks for explaining this… something about it being kind of democratic (?) makes it more amusing than irritating.

            Lemmy still feels thin compared to the colossal poop-chute that was Reddit.

            Knowing that the spurt of new furry porn in my all feed, is the result some new Lemmite fast-fingering the subscribe button is kind of delightful :-)
