I find the inclusion of every federated instance in ‘All’ fairly annoying. New tiny/niche/vanity instances get added by default when federated. There ends up being too much duplication and stuff I’m not interested in.

I’d much rather a system that only includes the local instance by default with a way to discover and add other instances.

My instance block list is long but there’s always new instances to block. For me, this a design flaw of the fediverse.

so you want to be able to subscribe to instances and have a new feed for the "Subscribed Instances" (as opposed to the existing Subscribed for communities)

not directly related, but have you looked at Feeds and Topics? https://piefed.social/feeds and https://piefed.social/topics

You can also follow remote feeds https://piefed.social/feed/add_remote

No, I didn’t know about those. Thanks, I’ll check that out.
