Site always reverting from "all" to "local" when refreshed? - Lemmy.world

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

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
I am also new, but I think local shows only localy created communites and global shows all communits with communites from other instances (if they are traced)
Happens to me too, my account setting is All but that doesn't stick when I go to lemmy.world homepage.
Same here. Also can't get New to stick.
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.
For a temporary fix, you can select "all" and then make it as a bookmark. That way, everytime you will have the desired setting.

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

Yeah, and it stays set to "All" but doesn't have any effect on a freshly loaded homepage.
I am on lemmynsfw and for me it sticks to the subscribed tab.
the admins have an option to set the default for all users. the user setting overrides.
It sounded here it did not work for some reason. I am using Firefox btw.
its whatever the default for you instance is set to, starts with local, i changed mine to all. users can override.
