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?

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's name from explore to mixed
I don’t understand. Why would you want to push the user towards local posts?

Thanks to @Spzi@lemm.ee for half of the idea

Stop pretending this is reddit, it is not.
It’s not fair to say that something is a bad idea and not even say why. Could you please elaborate on why this is a bad idea? It is specifically toggleable -optional whatever. I think it’s a solid idea.
