    Even after a server is widely used, the default should be all.

    That’s the whole point of federation. That’s what everybody is saying. That’s even what join-lemmy promotes; you see it all because of federation.

    “Local” should be the most niche rarely used setting ever.

      Hmm, I don’t know it depends on the context. I am on startrek.website and for that community with a lot of new star trek fans coming in who don’t necessarily know much about federation and the fediverse I think having the default be local to just star trek content makes way more sense. For other communities not built around a specific fanbase having the default be all makes way more sense. It just depends I think.

      Come to think of it, we should rename “all” to “UFP” lol
