    all is actually only communities that someone on your instance has subscribed to. But yes they can be from other instances.

    Not to further complicate things. But a community from another instance won’t show up on your all until you or someone else subscribed.

      I didn’t realize that so thanks for clearing that up, part of my reply was just giving the general idea so it’s good to get full answer

        Yeah, most people seem to think if you’re instance is federated with another then all communities from it will appear, but it’s actually on a community by community basis. That’s a pro of larger instances, the all feed will already be well populated.
