I recently migrated or better yet am still in the process of migrating from feddit.de to dataterm.digital. I really like it here and probably will stay here but I've been wondering about the difference in the "all" feed when comparing the 2 instances. On feddit.de's "all" feed I see many more new posts than on dataterm.digital's "all" feed. (I'm comparing sorted by new)

Can someone explain to me why that is and what's happening there? Shouldn't I be seeing the same posts regardless of the instances, given the instance isn't defederated?

I don't think we would use it on dataterm.digital. We don't on corteximplant.com

So I personally would be against it because rn the 'All' feed on Dataterm and the 'Federated' feed on CORTEX are our users' eye into the internet. It's what our users want to see collectively. If we used a relay we would see everything instead. I don't know how the other mods/admins feel about it but I'm guessing similarly. Also, the point of the federation is that you the user are the algorithm in a way, and using a relay would kind of break that imo.
