Subscribed - only your subscribed communities, regardless of instance.

Local - only lemmygrad posts, all communities

All - all federated instances together, regardless of which communities you subscribe to

I ask because I realize we have a lot of communities on lemmygrad but the same 2 or 3 tend to pop up. I also noticed posts on lesser-known communities tend to take longer to see some interaction, if at all.

Local on lemmygrad and hexbear

Subscribed on lemmy.ml because many communities, instances, and users are filled with toxicity and liberal/fascist brainrot

I rarely use lemmy.ml anyway

Small, wholesome, humble communities FTW

Lemmygrad and hexbear feel like geniune forums with great camaraderie. I've longed for an online community that wasn't filled with toxic morons. Most social media is repugnant for me, and I missed forums from back in the day. I'm grateful that lemmygrad and hexbear have brought wholesome forums back on the menu.

It would be nice if smaller communities were able to get more attention. I wonder if making a lemmy-like federated social networking site that uses tags instead of communities to allow people to give multiple categories to posts without spamming small instances would help other content get more attention. Moderation would likely have to be more centralized, though.
