Thanks for sharing this, its the first I’d seen of it. It feels like a kinda message-in-a-bottle sorta thing. The few messages I read were a melancholy mix of people who were clearly going through some hard times, and people trying to share some positivity. (And also some chain-email style “If you see this message pass it on,” messages; very nostalgic.)

Probably referencing this lawsuit that the internet archive lost recently, related to the online library they launched during the pandemic.

Yeah honestly I have my hopes that it’ll be fun. I normally play indie games these days but planning to check Starfield out unless it’s super broken on release. But either way I’m not gonna pre-order it!

Haha I was just coming here to @ you about this, but you beat me too it!

I got to it via this button at the top of the UI:

It looks to me like your app hasn’t caught up with your subscriptions yet. The first day I used Jerboa nothing showed up in my subscriptions list even though I hit subscribe on a bunch of communities. I went to bed and by the next morning it was working fine:

This is probably one of those “growing pains” things that Lemmy and Jerboa are gonna be going through for a while while the folks behind the scenes get things ironed out. I’d just give it a bit and see if they spontaneously appear tomorrow like mine did.

Edit: you might also want to try force-stopping the app and reloading it? That might force it to pull your subscription data again, idk

If you’d prefer you can probably open a ticket on the jerboa github about it, although I’m sure the developers have a lot of things to work on at the moment so it might not get priority yet.

Oh that’s interesting. I have three options: Local, Subscribed, and All

(I think All shows all posts from instances that are being actively tracked by your home instance, but I’m not sure, it’s kinda hard to tell…)

But to see just one community you should be able to tap on the community name / image and browse just that one, regardless of what instance it’s on. I don’t think you can set a single community as the default view though

Yeah I haven’t actually checked, I realized, I’ve just been assuming… Time for a quick experiment methinks!

Edit: I was wrong! I just tested it and it looks like the comments keep their same order regardless of what the drop down is set to! So actually, I have no idea! Sorry! FWIW it looks like the comments are sorted by recency.

I believe the default sort type is “Active,” iirc, and you can change it in your profile settings (top-left hamburger menu, setting, then your profile settings; it’s one of the two drop-down menus)

Edit: at least I’m pretty sure that applies to both posts and comments, although I realize now that I haven’t actually tested that assumption…

Edit 2: This was wrong! I just tested it and it looks like the comments keep their same order regardless of what the drop down is set to! So actually, I have no idea! Sorry! FWIW it looks like the comments are sorted by recency.

They should show up in Subscribed, I think. They do for me. Although it did take a little while after I first added them, for some reason. Maybe give it a day and see if non-local posts start showing up in your Subscribed then?
