I changed the setting to default to “all”, but it keeps reloading to local, is this a bug? (desktop browser)
its whatever the default for you instance is set to, starts with local, i changed mine to all. users can override.
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.
have you tried changing the “type” option in lemmy.world/settings/ (or [yourinstance]/settings)?
For a temporary fix, you can select “all” and then make it as a bookmark. That way, everytime you will have the desired setting.
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.
