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?
This is actually tied to whatever you select at the time of account creation for Lemmy in general, not just a Jerboa setting as far as I can tell. It’s likely a different way of defining such a behavior than we’re normally used to, but it works well, I think. That said, I think this is more of a Lemmy suggestion than a Jerboa one.
So I need a new account to change this setting? Seems like an oversight.
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.
You don’t need a new account, just that’s what lemmy does by default. You can change it in the settings to show all communities. However, if it were to default it to all, it might be less confusing to the masses.
I selected “all” but it’s still showing local when I go to instance’s homepage.
Edit: it works for “subscribed”, but both “local” and “all” show local.
