Technically yes but support for that feature is so ignored in reality most posts are tagged as unspecified. The docs even specifically say to always enable unspecified along with your languages otherwise you'll miss on a lot of content.
But that's the technicality of the example I picked, make it a meme communities instead or whatever and the point stands: it will get spammy as people start following Mastodon accounts and bots and Wordpress blogs and whatever else integrates with the fediverse.
All it takes is a single user that follows one of those and it's on everyone's All page.
I'm part of a non-English speaking instance, we got reminded several times to tag our content appropriately. I think I reminded other non-English instances too.
Meme communities are usually block by people who don't like them. That's the same for every other content.
The All feed is useful to discover new content, especially with Scaled sort. If you have an alt on lemmy.ml you should try it, it's quite good to bring content from niche but active communities.
