I changed the setting to default to "all", but it keeps reloading to local, is this a bug? (desktop browser)

have you tried changing the "type" option in lemmy.world/settings/ (or [yourinstance]/settings)?

type: subscribed/local/new

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and it stays set to "All" but doesn't have any effect on a freshly loaded homepage.

By default Lemmy shows local when first opened. I don't know who thought that would be a good idea but you can change it in your profile settings. You might have to use desktop or a mobile browser instead of an app.

It actually works correctly in Jerboa, but not a browser.

Happens to me too, my account setting is All but that doesn't stick when I go to lemmy.world homepage.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same for Beehaw.

For a temporary fix, you can select "all" and then make it as a bookmark. That way, everytime you will have the desired setting.

I am on lemmynsfw and for me it sticks to the subscribed tab.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the admins have an option to set the default for all users. the user setting overrides.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It sounded here it did not work for some reason. I am using Firefox btw.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

its whatever the default for you instance is set to, starts with local, i changed mine to all. users can override.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm really new here and don't quite understand the difference between local and all, could someone possbily explain?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Local shows communities on your instance. All shows communities from all instances

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. Also can't get New to stick.
