I understand that being confusing, local view makes sense as a default but I rarely check it over my federated feed.
This article explains things well.

How do I see just the videos on a particular server, and hide the videos it has federated from other servers?
To just see a server’s own videos and hide all the videos it has federated from elsewhere:
- Go to the server’s website
- Click the Browse Videos tab
- Click the More Filters link just below the “Videos on…” heading
- In the Displayed Videos dropdown menu, select “Only videos from this platform”
These are the videos that would be federated to your server if you follow them.
So change the setting back from this.
