Why is the default setting for the startpage's feed "Local" and not "All" (lemmy.world)

I think this has negative effects on the threadiverse because it tends to keep user's focus at lemmy.world and in general keeps users to stay in their bubbles

I don't understand why local feeds exist at all. Very few instances are topic-based. Most of the time a local feed makes no sense.

My little Lemmy is for art, or so am I trying to make it.

I think its nice to see which people are actually on your instance and what they are chatting about :D But its definitely an advanced feature, which makes it even more confusing to me why its the default value in the feed and the tab for finding new communities.
