I use this to come across magazines or communities i might not have thought to search for and add those I find interesting. After scrolling a little bit I switch to the subscribed list. This works well for me at the moment.

Same! Have found several interesting magazine like that.
Yes definitely! I've also been doing that
Totally agree! I never touched new on Reddit.
I'm afraid that's just because spammers, trolls and other bad agents haven't discovered this platform yet and/or there's not enough people here for spamming to be worth it. The current selection of users who were likely to join also probably has an effect. Once (if?) this grows and reaches more general population, I'd bet it will look similar to /r/all/new.
Edit: It's a kind of paradox. You want more users on the platform so that there's enough content and more niche communities can form but that inevitably makes the place less pleasant. Although this moment is still very, very far for kbin. I mean Reddit became absolutely humongous in the last several years.
It’s how I find interesting magazines and Lemmy communities. Browse new for a while with federation on and see what interesting things come past on the stream.
what's the difference? I mean is there a setting I need to change or is it by default on?
In the kbin web interface, I click the federation button (triangle icon) in the sidebar and a federation status On/Off option appears, and yes, the initial setting (default) is On.
by /m/All you mean the front page, right? Couldn't find any magazine named "All"
You can sort the posts by new
Agreed. I'm finding the same on Lemmy.world (when it works) and tildes. All great communities!
Found you on my all / top for the day so I hope you feel a sense of pride :D
I used to browse r/all/rising and sometimes peeked at /new. It was made somewhat bearable because I used rif and filtered out subreddits like crazy.
I just checked my rif settings export. I had 906 subreddit filters.
(And one domain filter: battleforthenet.com.)
Yea :) like a few times in new i saw stuff that seemed like they miiight be ads in disguise but it seems to happen a lot less than reddit (where new posts couldve been several reposts and bot nonsense.)
Yet to find interesting content.
Given the volume and breath of content going past in the federated feed, that may say more about you?
Well a lot of stuff posted on here seem tech related (or cat related lol) so i get if youre not into that maybe doesnt seem so interesting. But it can help if you look in magazine for your country/city maybe. Or for your interest. Or even something like cooking or news if you like news?
This sounds more like you're only looking at subscribed magazines... I see way, way, more stuff than cats and tech. There is also an infinite number of fricken anime posts out there that I can't block fast enough.
I see very few cats posts in All>new, but it's a link aggregation social site and majority of the early adopters here are tech nerds so of course there is a lot of those articles posted.
