Yes it's what I did, but everytime I click on the title of the website (top left), by default "local" is selected, not the same for you ?
Nop, working fine here (https://lemmy.nz/). Remember to save the settings ... ๐
I don't see your glitch ... fine here ๐ซค
Edit: web page with Chrome browser works fine. Jerboa android client does not :sad:

Well, so I guess it's related to lemmy.world as I've just tested with Firefox/Brave, same issue ? Instance version might not be the same ? Will try to see if I see any github issue regarding this...
Yeah, it's a glitch in the software, it will always show local highlighted, but all communities should show up. See below to see what I mean (screenshot taken from lemmy.world):

I remember having to wait a little for it to take effect as well.
Oh I see, you're right! I did not take the time to see it was showing up other communities. Thanks for your hint :)
Didn't find a follow thread button, so writing this comment to follow it xD
