I saw this comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?

    Ok, maybe this is just me still being a bit confused by federation. As the link opened the post, I’d assumed it was a crosspost link. Following it now, I see a different, single post. Viewing the sidebar, it suggests there should be 5 posts, and when I originally went there, it said 4. Given that I now see a single new post, those numbers add up—there are 3 missing somewhere.

    But you’re right, it is a new community and so maybe it will just work out eventually.

      Incidentally, I’ve turned off Hide Read for both feed and community, but I now see no posts in that community. Is there also a profile setting that affects this?

        Ok, never mind. I found ‘Show read posts’ via the web interface :).

          Ahh, I hadn’t even thought about that. Good catch. By the way you can also access most of those account settings from your profile page in Arctic, by pressing the gear icon.

            Fab—that’s much easier. Maybe the Arctic settings for Hide Read could check and pop up a warning if they don’t ‘match’? Or even just change it for convenience?
