The front page of Lemmy is mostly posts from 2-4 days ago. I can see people getting bored/not bothering to check back if it's always the same posts on the default sort. (lemmy.world)

I think OP is getting at the point that maybe the default shouldn't be local. I set mine to subscribed, but until a server is widely used, maybe the default should be all. It's more of a server admin thing than a software default thing, IMO, though.

I tend to agree this is why I wrote a new users guide and pinned it on my instance which suggests exactly this

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
