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

I think that Explore is very confusing name for feed type. IMO there are 2 better ways to do this:

checkbox called "discover new posts" or something similar. It would randomly throw posts from All to Subscribed
"Mixed" feed type with a slider that allows users to set how many posts from All and how many from subscribed will show up in Mixed. It can look like this:

All (20%) ==( )======== Subscribed (80%)

The slider is a really cool idea, is that something they could actually build?

I can't find a reason why it would be not possible

I just called it Explore because its called that in Mastodon. Mixed is also fine.

To include Local, you could also make a slider with two slide-poitns:

Local All Subscribed
