It’s excruciatingly obnoxious to have to rely on third party sources for what should be a first-party feature.
Like, I select all and then search a query. “Oh no, nobody on your server used a third party service to find it, so you won’t see it here.”
Like, how short-sighted is that, really? If I search for a string in the ‘all’ servers, I should have a list of ‘all’ the servers containing that string.
It’s a really simple concept. Not sure why this post even has to be made, but I’m wondering if there’s something I can do to make these ‘features’ more intuitive.
Uh… no it’s not.
I’m sorry, but what you’re doing is actively making this service harder to use by suggesting that ‘all’ should only mean ‘the communities other community members have subscribed to that contain that string.’
Gee, fediverse design strikes again. Sorry, it has to be said. It really does.
The Internet also has all information made available to it, not all information that is in the universe. Same as the fediverse users, internet users rely on search engines to find what they are looking for.
When all would mean all available in fediverse you would get issues:
It’s to the user to search what he wants to see. I for one have 3 ‘main’ accounts (world, ml and studio) and I subscribe to specific communities for each account (ml for development, studio for music related, world for ‘rest’) and each one I open the feed with subscribed. I’m totally not interested in all, to much junk (even on Lemmy).
To freely quote: All, you want all? You can’t handle all. ;)
I cannot believe you’re making this argument.
I’m sorry, I can, and it’s a big reason why fediverse design has a lot of progress to make.

Calm down buddy. Your analogy has no water and you’re clearly fueled by emotion.
Take a step back, breath some fresh air, then come back when you’re ready to discuss civilly. Right now you’ve said nothing of substance.
