It's not that is too complicated, it's the fact that there's no one here.

It just gets boring arguing with the same 12 accounts. That said some of these people putting in a full days worth of work to keep the memes and other content flowing. They the real mvps

There's certainly enough people here to get annoyed, though.

Is this you?

There are dozens of us!

40k daily users, according to fediverse observer. Plenty for me. Too many, maybe. In fact, it is too many. Everyone leave!

Arguing? Nobody's arguing here. And last I counted, there were DOZENS of accounts, not just 12!

You need to switch up how you view it. Go to

• Hot
• 6 hour
• Scaled
• Active

That'll get you an hour or so depending on what instance you're on. Your instance decides what you see on All and Hot. That's why it is kind of important which instance you choose. If one gets too big, it controls what most people see.

According to the recent stats, there are millions of people here every day. That means you're not seeing them.

Username checks out?

Fedi-famous (the best kinda currently)

how do i find the users in my instance? I own the instance lol and I have no idea how to query for active users

I kinda love that people are willing to deal with these various technicalities and unknowns as a worthwhile compromise as long as it's not [input any walled-garden here]

You're not a nobody. We care for you and hope you find peace lord

how come I can't view "all" meaning every post from every community in every instance?

"subscribed" is the exact same thing as "all"

My understanding is, if the fediverse is a web of instances (being the server/domain you signed up and have an account on), 'all' only has the context of everything on your home instance and stuff people on your instance are subscribed to.

So not just your own personal subscribe, but the entire subscribe of any user from redlemmy.com in your case.

Your all is likely different than my all. There is no true 'all' because of how communities connect and aren't contingent on each other's existence, and things like instances defederating from others.

More or less yes for me too. Hot is my default, then Active. I also toggle both between All and Subscribed.

I don't come here to lose hours usually, but the above is plenty for me.

I only wish we had a good equivalent to /r/publicfreakout. I'm having to seek out protest videos elsewhere, and I refuse to go to reddit, and they don't seem as prolific as they did in 2020.

Which is why I don't use the small private instance a friend is running. I want All to contain stuff I don't normally look at.

Go fuck yourself, loser
