MODERATORS
It surprises me how many people apparently just dive right into to "All" feed. There's waaaaayyy too much stuff I really don't care about getting blasted into my eye-holes doing that.
It's even more surprising when people claim they view the All feed on Mastodon. I mean... a good chunk of that is just bots barfing data that's not even remotely related to me.
To me, "All" isn't much better than letting The Algorithm pick what I read on Twitter/Reddit/Facebook/etc. Gross.
I use All to explore.
I start with subscribed, until everything on my feed starts to look familiar. Then switch to Local, which works well to find new communities because my instance is somewhat topical. And then if I run out of content, I move on to All to see what else is out there.
I’m not really scrolling All for content, I’m more on the lookout for interesting communities.
I flip back and forth. Middle because I'm still building up my communities so I need to see everything to see what I care about.
Yeah, all is something I check, not something I scroll.
