We need a new Explore-Feed (similar to Mastodon), which consolidates the All- and Local-Feed
(lemmy.world)
The All-Feed is very important to increase the content-quality of the threadiverse and therefore, ensure its existense. However, for smaller instances, there is only limited reason to put the All-Feed prominent in their UI, because their posts will never be present there. However, if they push people toward their the Local-Feed (which they currently do), people will only stay on their instance and overall discussion quality declines.
So, to truly overcome instance protectionism, we need a new feed, in which an instance can find a good balance between showing content from other instances and its own.
I see, thanks. Presented this way, I like the idea much more. I generally like the idea to customize my own feed. So I'd like to take it a step further: Let me choose the numbers. 50/50 seems like a good predefined starting point though.
Also I wouldn't stop there but include Subscribed. So while your settings might be 0/50/50 for Subscribed/Local/All, mine would be 70/20/10, and the next guy could choose something entirely different.
Similarly, I'd like to control how much weight small communities get in these feeds. And I'd like to say "whenever something is posted to this specific community, show it to me! No matter how much other interesting content there is from other communities."
I love that! Just made a post about it ...
