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

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the lightning-fast responses, guys. I’m loving this place <3

    It will only show posts from your home instance (in your case lemmy.world) as opposed to posts from all the various instances that make up Lemmy.

      I wanna add to this that “all” isn’t really from all Lemmy instances, but instead only from communities your instance knows about.
      I’m not sure if anyone on your instance has to be subbed to that community or if it’s enough if that instance was searched for once on your instance.
