Why wouldn't the All feed have as many communities on small instances? Does federation have to be 'consensual'?

Also, I noticed I can reply to comments on this thread but not the post itself. Does this have to do with federation or is it a limitation of Jerboa or smthn?

(Also - TIL feddit.it is located in Finland!? ๐Ÿ˜…)

All is based on every community that someone subscribed to on an instance, so smaller instances generally have less communities.
