Why is the default setting for the startpage's feed "Local" and not "All" (lemmy.world)

I think this has negative effects on the threadiverse because it tends to keep user's focus at lemmy.world and in general keeps users to stay in their bubbles

I think that’s precisely what it intends to do. There’s interest-specific or country-specific instances that are meant to be your “home”. Lemmy.world is a bad example of it because it’s non-specific and sign ups were open for a long time.

A good local feed on lemmy and/or mastodon its worth its weight in gold.

Right, but for me, choosing an instance is a matter of moderation, maybe tech-stack/performance and data privacy (maybe some other stuff too) but not the content hosted ON the instance. I mean, thats the whole idea of the fediverse. You choose the social network structure that you like and travel the fediverse with that. I don't like this overly tribel-thinking.

So set your landing page to “subscribed” rather than “local” on whatever app you use. Or take it up with the admin or the lemmy.word community if it causes you a problem. I can’t see how it can put you out that much, or cause “overly tribal thinking” tbh.
