Fellow Fediverse wanderers, I’ve got a bone to pick with our current Lemmy experience. 🌐

The “All” Feed Syndrome

Has anyone else noticed how painfully similar the “All” feed looks across different Lemmy instances? It’s like we’re browsing the same curated content, just with different window dressings. The posts, upvotes, and discussions feel increasingly uniform - a far cry from the diverse, decentralized dream we signed up for.

My Wishlist: Local Votes Only

What I’m craving is a simple setting that would:

Filter posts based ONLY on local instance votes
Showcase truly instance-specific content
Break the algorithmic echo chamber
Highlight unique community perspectives

Imagine seeing genuinely different content on lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works vs [your favorite instance]. Right now, it feels like we’re just shuffling the same deck of cards.

A Call to Developers

Is this technically feasible? Would love to hear from the community about:

Potential implementation challenges
Interest in such a feature
Alternative solutions to content diversity

Who’s with me in wanting a more genuinely decentralized browsing experience? 🚀
