Suggestion: show all instances in feed by default (lemmy.world)

As a longtime redditor but newcomer to Lemmy, it strikes me as odd that Jerboa shows only posts from the local instance in the home feed by default.

If we are to promote the use of less-burdened instances, and stress the connectedness of this federated platform, we should be displaying the collective content right from the start. Content scarcity is already a stumbling block for many converts, and purposely limiting the view even further doesn't make much sense to me.

If there is a more technical reason for this default view, then I can understand the rationale, but if not I'm curious to know why this is the case. What are your thoughts?

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
