So on the home page it defaults to local. When I hover my mouse it says that it shows local communities only. However when I look at the feed there is definitely posts from communities that are not local. So I have no idea what this actually does.

I’m using Jerboa. For some reason, tapping on “All” keeps me on the local instance as well. It has been doing that for 2-3 days now
Current build of Jerboa is busted. I moved over to Thunder.
I randomly switch between the two
For me it only shows my “default” setting even when I change it in the main page.
same for me, I was looking for some info about this…
There is an odd bug when the app first loads in…
After it loads, if you click off of local, and back onto local though, it will THEN show only local posts.
I’m on lemmy.world; are there being apps tailored for specific instances?
I’m sure some servers have customized it.
It’s also entirely possible (and pretty easy) to build a completely custom front-end too.
I have seen two servers, with a few front-end customizations.
- beehaw.org runs a custom skin.
- lemmynsfw.com, is compiled with some customizations for their instance… (something, relating to nsfw)
oh yeah. hmm weird.
All federated instances users can create posts on all communities.
eg. .ml user can post to .world community than post is in world localAren’t they saying they’re seeing non-local communities in their local feed though?
it should do what you said and if it doesn’t do that it might be a bug.
this is best reported on the lemmy-ui GitHub issues page if it’s a web browser issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
or on your app’s issues page.
It’s in the browser so I imagine it would be with the github you linked to
To me that sounds like your local feed is broken. What client are you using? Browser? App?
browser
Sounds like a bug to the lemmy UI. Not sure if there’s a community for that as I’m using jerboah.
Also I should have gotten that you’re desktop as you did mention your mouse. I need some sleep.
My understanding is that Local shows you communities to which any sh.itheads are subscribed, regardless of the home instance of the community.
