My feed is starting to look very different depending on the client I am on. And I love it. Let's go!

Some clients only want to support specific event kinds and thus don't show up to 40% of the content others do. While others use different relay sets and smart algos to find replies that are interesting to you and show them in the main feed. Some show everything even if they have not been able to load previews or posts while others hide everything until they download and are able to display all the dependencies at once.

Lots of experiments. But, more importantly, there are many diverse opinions from client authors on what the main feed should have and look like. And that's awsome!

Not a big fan of clients making this decision for the users. IMO, clients should let users decide what they prefer to see. But I get what you mean.

There is not a single client that doesn't make such decisions for users. And such unopinionated client will most likely never exist.

For every option you have to customize your feed in a client, there are 10s to 100s of other decisions that you won't have the option to change.

Yes this is very interesting on the content creator side as well. I notice reactions / etc. for different kinds come via different clients. I love this eco system, it's so cool. A sort of built in crossposting, but where content gets delivered where it's most wanted.

I noticed the same behavior. Shouldn't the following feed be the same in all though? Otherwise since only few people use multiple clients, we are missing notes in our timeline.

No way to make them the exact same. People should never expect that to happen.
