Absolutely. I really wish kbin had a local feed for magazines. I don't like how it's either "subscribed" or "all", which includes every federated instance.
Umm, you can turn off federation and get a local feed with a single click/tap. On desktop, the switch is on the home page at the top of the right hand column. It looks like 3 dots connected in a triangle with curved lines.
On mobile I guess it is at the bottom.
They just have to rename/move the option to be more clear. For all visual issues Lemmy's UI has, at least their local only filter mode is pretty clear to see and understand. Kbin's "FEDERATION ON OR OFF" is so open to interpretation I thought for a while if it was a toggle so that things I posted only stayed local and didn't federate
Ah thanks for the tip. That's not the same as what I was wanting, but it's closer!
On the sidebar, if you click the fediverse icon (the 3 dots with lines between them), you can turn federation off. This will show you only local content. However, this does still show local kbin users posting to federated magazines, because technically they're posting to the local copy on kbin and it just happens to get federated out on the backend. But it should reduce the amount of completely federated things you see
What a difference, thank you!
Much appreciated!
Thank you for explaining this, I've had federation turned off for a while now and have been wondering why so many things from Lemmy still pop up.
