I think you might benefit from trying the “local” feed, which is just your home instance :)

It could perhaps be better communicated though, but I’m not sure what framing or label might make it more clear what local means for less technical folks

It might just be something people need to learn because the fediverse is a different thing than traditional social platforms. But I don’t think that possibility should stop us from improving clarity if we can think of a good way to do so :)
