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

    Seems like it should definitely not be the default sorting mechanism. It’s a fringe use case at best. Most people subscribe to communities across the 'verse and their default should be “subscribed” and have 5> communities and “all” if not logged in or have fewer than 5 community subscriptions.

        Ah yes, I know. I just meant the default setting for new users.

        Instead of “Active” and “Local”, it should be “Hot” and “Subscribed” (or “All”). I think anyone who spends enough time to get used to it here quickly realizes they should change their profile settings.
