I heard that the All feed aggregates content from all communities that instance members have subscribed to, meaning if I subscribe to a new community, it’ll start showing up in everyone else’s All feed.

Let’s suppose I have an account on an instance with a particular thematic focus. Should I avoid subscribing to communities outside of that theme, in order to preserve the purity of their All feed?

    The All Feed shows you all communities from all instances. Whether you are subscribed to them or not.

    The Local Feed shows you all communities from your instance. Whether you are subscribed to them or not.

    The Home Feed shows you only communities you are subscribed to. This includes any communities you follow that are located in other instances.

      Not quite, the All feed shows you all posts from all communities subscribed to on your instance. If there isn’t a user subscribed, it isn’t pushed to that instance.
