What about a new mixed-feed which merges the Subscribed, Local and All feed based on probabilities customable by the user e.g. 10/40/50 or 0/20/80? (lemmy.world)

This would push users toward local posts (especially on smaller instances) while still supporting a better distribution of user engagement over the threadiverse. And if you don’t trust that it was implemented correctly – you can simply check it by counting the amounts of posts against your chosen probabilities.

Edit: changed feed name to mixed-feed

Yes, because for smaller communities, the All-Feed would still mean that they aren't present there. They would still chose the local-feed.

It would also be nice for people who chose their instances for a reason and want them to give them a bit more attention than other instances but don't want to switch back and worth between All and Local. I think there are many of that.
