I think a lot of confusion about the fediverse stems from the fact that most services default to your local instance as front page. I know you can change it in the settings here, but the setting is also defaulted to local, so maybe that one should be set to all, too?
Lemmy.ml isn’t my home instance however… So you’re saying you tested this and it works for you?
Whoops, sorry about that, should’ve looked closer. Yeah, on my instance I can change my sort order and Subscribed/Local/All and it sticks.
