I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?

How do I add that to my list as I have to keep scrolling and scrolling trying to get to the bottom to follow that channel and given up. Surely there is an easier way of following something

Press the cogwheel next to the federation icon (by default is on the right, under your username)

In the options select "Show Top bar"

Top right there is a link to "All"

Yep, depending on what app/site you're using it's called either All or Everything.

Should be near other buttons Local and Subscribed

There should be an option for listing type. You can change between local and all.

More like local, subscriptions, and all

So is there truly not a way to view a "frontpage" of only my subscriptions? I haven't found one but thought I must just be a giant noob.

If you say what interface (browser or name of app) you're using, someone can get more specific.

But what they're trying to say is there are 3 main "feeds".

1- is "all" which is the front page of everything from your instance and all the instances it's federated with.

2- is "local" which is the front page of just your instance.

3- is "subscribed" which is the front page of all your subscriptions.

Now since I don't necessarily use the same interface you do I can't tell you exactly where to click. But go to wherever you go to see a list of all your subscribed communities and it should be an option, typically listed above, for these 3 options.

I see you're using Lemmy - you can view subscribed (posts on communities you've subscribed to), local (posts on communities hosted by your local instance), and all (posts from any federated instances).

Examples:

More or less. You have an "all" feed showing every community that anyone in your instance follows, it's as close as it gets.
