Top 7 "All" of all time on Lemmy, as seen by my instance:

None younger than 10 months old, on a platform largely only about 12 months old in total. So once again, not really representative of the lifetime of the site, or what the site is like today.

    5 posts about lemmy itself and 1 about musk? That sounds pretty accurate.

    No posts about open source. Nothing queer. No tankies or even leftist. I wouldn't say that the best representation of today's Lemmy.

    Maybe it's missing some technology stuff. I don't think leftist posts get that upvoted, even if there's a lot of them.

    On my instance, top "All" of the month is this post, which is leftist tech/science, but also a roundabout reference to Reddit. #2 is this post, entirely just leftist politics. #3 is congratulating a left-leaning politician.

    Nice, I get the Aaron post and the other two are about trump and musk. You may have a point but I hadn't even seen those posts before so maybe things are more contained in their communities now, so they're less upvoted than in the beginning.

    Yeah, to be clear that's "of all time". Like, if we listed the greatest human achievements of all time - fire, gunpowder, antibiotics, computers, vaccines, the internet, etc. - that list would not be expected to change daily or even once a century.:-)

    Also, every single one is either 10 or 11 months old - with only one exception being 9 months. That is obviously some kind of spike related to the Rexodus:-P.

    The Fediverse is much older than 12 months btw - your list contains posts from outside of Aussie.zone so it's not looking at Local but rather All, so it includes those, which you can get to by sorting by Old.

    TLDR: "top of all time" is not intended to be anyone's default search - Top or Active or New would be much better choices.
