Is it bad Lemmy etiquette to “pollute” the All feed of a niche instance? - eviltoast

I heard that the All feed aggregates content from all communities that instance members have subscribed to, meaning if I subscribe to a new community, it’ll start showing up in everyone else’s All feed.

Let’s suppose I have an account on an instance with a particular thematic focus. Should I avoid subscribing to communities outside of that theme, in order to preserve the purity of their All feed?

    No. In fact, you’re helping your instance. If people don’t want to see your niche instance, they gotta get out of the All feed and go back to their Home.

    Just don’t follow any NSFW and people don’t be bothered.
