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.

It actually works correctly in Jerboa, but not a browser.

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.

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.

Same here. Also can't get New to stick.

Local shows communities on your instance. All shows communities from all instances
