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.

    Pleroma calls their equivalent of “All” the “Known Network” instead, which does a better job explaining what will show up there in my opinion.

      That’s great. That should be the default naming. I also wouldn’t mind a separate “all” setting for the x largest communities. But then vetting comes into play, and it might get complicated.
