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.

I didn’t know about this at all. Thanks!
It modifies the feed according to your sorting option, which uses different algorithms.
