Welcome to lemmy.ca's c/main!
Since everyone on lemmy.ca gets subscribed here, this is the place to chat about the goings on at lemmy.ca, support-type items, suggestions, etc.
Announcements can be found at https://lemmy.ca/c/meta
For support related to this instance, use https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy_ca_support
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.
