What does Local do?

So on the home page it defaults to local. When I hover my mouse it says that it shows local communities only. However when I look at the feed there is definitely posts from communities that are not local. So I have no idea what this actually does.

My understanding is that Local shows you communities to which any sh.itheads are subscribed, regardless of the home instance of the community.

There is an odd bug when the app first loads in....

After it loads, if you click off of local, and back onto local though, it will THEN show only local posts.

I'm using Jerboa. For some reason, tapping on "All" keeps me on the local instance as well. It has been doing that for 2-3 days now

- For me it only shows my "default" setting even when I change it in the main page.
