    The ‘All’ tab shows you content your instance pulled from other instances. Your instance only pulls content from other instances when people subscribe to communities and are viewing their subscription page.

    You being shown old content on ‘All’ means your instance is seldom pulling new content.

    There are three ways to fix this:

    1. Subscribe to everything yourself. Then your instance will pull content from the communities you subscribed to.
    2. Switch to a more populated instance. Then the ‘All’ tab will have more diverse content.
    3. Accept that the ‘All’ tab on Lemmy does not work like reddit’s /r/all. You can’t doom-scroll on Lemmy like you could on reddit.

      It’s weird, because I’m subscribed to a TON. Hundreds of communities at least. I can’t imagine that it’s running out so quickly.
