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)?
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.
Happens to me too, my account setting is All but that doesn’t stick when I go to lemmy.world homepage.
its whatever the default for you instance is set to, starts with local, i changed mine to all. users can override.
