So on the home page it defaults to local. When I hover my mouse it says that it shows local communities only. However when I look at the feed there is definitely posts from communities that are not local. So I have no idea what this actually does.

Local means only communities that are created on the same server you have your account.
It doesn’t mean that people from outside can’t post in it, like you can post in communities created on different servers, that’s the beauty of federation.
