    That’s exactly what the Local feed is for.
    If you don’t want All, don’t use All. Because the All will give you All, not just Local. If you want Local use Local.

      For me, the issue is the lack of an ability to view the local of a different instance.

      I’m on Lemmy.World. You’re on Communick.News.

      If I want to view the local on Communick.News, I can’t. I have to create an account there. And if I want to view the local on Lemmy.World I need to log out of your instance, and log in over here.

      Now here’s the bigger issue. Lets say I can click a button, and now a home instance, and all its communities could be saved to a special drop down tab that replaces the local. Your instance is always the default, but the rest are alphabetically listed.

      So now that solves that, but we run into the next issue.

      What makes Communick.News different from Lemmy.World?

      See, if I had a Lemmy.Nintendo instance, it could have 50 different communities of different Nintendo stuff.

      Then you could have Lemmy.Linux and have all the linux communities.

      And sure, it’s decentralized so maybe Linux.paradise also exists and has some of the same communities.

      The idea isn’t to centralize the instances. The idea is to theme them.

        Reddit did this with multi-reddits. PieFed does this with categories of communities, Topic areas that are user customizable and shareable. Lemmy does not do this readily, although Blaze managed it… by making 50 different accounts, one per instance.
