Yeah, and it stays set to "All" but doesn't have any effect on a freshly loaded homepage.
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'm really new here and don't quite understand the difference between local and all, could someone possbily explain?
Local shows communities on your instance. All shows communities from all instances
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.
