What? No it doesn’t. To someone unfamiliar with Lemmy, and expecting it to be like Reddit where /r/all/new is somewhere only the insane or curious would ever visit, sure; it makes total sense. To someone who understands how Lemmy operates and how a lot of people actually use the per-instance “all” feed because it develops a certain per-instance vibe that they like and want to be a part of and don’t want crapped up with spammy content, it sounds obnoxious.
A lot of the value of subs, especially technical subs, is their backlog of content, usually technical help etc. That doesn’t sound like what this person was doing though. They were just trying to get the initial recent content over. Which you can say “No it doesn’t make sense” and I can say “I think it make senses” all day until we’re blue in the face.
I have spent as much time as I feel like investing, trying to explain how I see it. Some other people have tried too. You can decide to read what I wrote if you like, and agree or not; it’s up to you.
Migrating posts over seems reasonable to me. If you want to migrate people, you got to migrate content and lemmy is bereft of content.

Astounding rhetoric.
