I still don't know how any of this works.
Yeah wtf does that mean can't you already see other instances? Isn't that the point of lemmy?
You can but they want to see the "Local" view from the perspective of other instances. If you go to your homepage a click the "Local" button at the top you see only posts from sh.itjust.works communities. OP is on lemmy.world so they see just lemmy.world communities if they select that option. They want to see this page from the perspective of any instance they want.
Could be useful particularly for instances that are topic-specific, instead of general purpose.
Topic specific instances aka porn probably lol
On your home instance, you can browse Local which is like All (whole Fediverse) but only for that instance.
Presumably browsing another instance's Local is possibly but I've not seen any apps offer it yet.
Instances blocks or are blocked by other instances. So you won't see the same feeds when viewed from different instances.
