I find this a pain too. I regularly have to temporarily shift my location so
that I can find out if any new users have cropped up in the wider Birmingham
area in order to make contact, say hello, and tell them what's going on
related to OSM that they might be interested in. 

Obviously the list length has to stop somewhere, so perhaps it would be
better to display the 10 closest to the centre of the map as displayed
(which by default is your home location initially).

Cheers
