The issue with Lemmy's "all feed" is that the largest or most popular instances tend to dominate what appears there, which undercuts the ability of users on niche or smaller instances to discover content truly relevant to their specific interests. This make different instances feel less distinct and reduces the value of joining a niche instance. This lack of meaningful, diverse niche content makes federation a moot point—if every instance is just a clone of the same meme and political noise, users gain nothing distinct from joining a smaller or niche instance, turning Lemmy into a less convenient, more fractured Reddit without the depth or polish users expect.
