Does it show posts from locations near you? That doesn’t make sense. So what is it supposed to signify?

    On a well-fedorated general purpose instance, it likely wouldn’t matter, like lemmy.world. however, it would be useful if

    1. Your instance is dedicated to a specific purpose, like lemmyNSFW and some programming/art/starterk oriented instances. Then you can view all the instance content without going into specific communities.
    2. You instance has special moderation rule. You might want to take a break from wider internet, and only enjoy well-moderated content on your instance.
