I am still new to Lemmy and don’t understand some things.
One is: Why do I have to subscribe to a whole channel if I want to only write about one specific thing?
It just doesn’t make sense to me, because it will just pollute my timeline with stuff I really want to see. If I have an opinion on one thing, but will see everything about this topic in my timeline, the timeline will be useless after a few days.
This is the most un-intuitive way to post something anywhere on the internet ever. Who came up with this idea and why? Because I think the developer might have a reason or it is just a bug.
Wouldn’t it be better to show the “create post” button right beside the “subscribe” button in a group (without being subscribed to the group)?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
A loosely moderated place to ask open ended questions
If your post is
Open ended
Not offensive
Not regarding lemmy support (c/lemmy_support)
not ad nauseam inducing (please make sure its a question that would be new to most members)
This was just a UI choice to only show one block button, you could open up a github issue on lemmy-ui for this.
Okay, I’ve created a feature request on github.
Sweet, thanks.
You can also unsubscribe from the community as soon as you’ve made the post. Agreed it’s unintuitive, but it’s a workaround that works for me.
But why subscribing to it at all? Sounds like 2 unnecessary steps.
That’s exactly what OC said too mate, they agree with you but suggested a temporary work-around
