  • This makes me understand the location of that option is not clear! 😓 Currently you can find that option in the “Manage subscriptions” page, but community creation must be enabled to regular users in your instance (if you are on lemmy.world then don’t worry it is possible, other instances restrict it to admins only).

    There has been some discussion about where to put that option, and I wanted to use the “right side menu” in Profile btw.













  • I’ll look into it because the GET /community/list endpoint (ref. here) accept Lemmy’s sort types (Active, New, Controversial…) sorting and not alphabetical order. The other option, as it was before, would be getting the subscription from the GET /site but that does allow filtering and seems not to work if an user is subscribed to hundreds of communities (it happened in the past for someone complaining).


  • Yes, I agree that is a useful idea and many other apps have it (so probably users are accustomed to it). I’ll consider it for this week’s development cycle, thanks!

    p.s. I’ll also have a look at how the drawer is populated because the old implementation to have “favorite on top” is incompatible with community pagination which was introduced later (and since no one was actually using favorites I didn’t realize).
