I'm starting to understand the whole federated feed thing, but I'd like more control over it. E.g., I'm on a national instance, so I get every little small town community popping up. Do I just have to block them as I go until I don't see them anymore, or is there a better way?

On your main view page you can swap between "local" (all the community you see now) "all" which I guess is all, and "subscribed" which is only ones you're subscribed too.

If you sub to a bunch of communities, you can make your view page set to "subscribed" and only see relevant posts

yes, "subscribed" is probably what you're looking for.

just to clarify at bit: "local" is any post to any local community, and "all" is all local and remote posts.

Also to expand on this, for lemmy.ca, the "local" communities are these https://lemmy.ca/communities

Oh yep, there it is. Thanks!

Note; (from what I can tell) local shows only communities on your instance, making it useful for places with their own like ecosystem of users and rules, but not that useful for most people. To be fair, it was flooded with a fair amount of NSFW content that I'm not that interested with, so it's best for short discovery sessions probably.
