The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don’t click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

    Is there a RES equivalent for this? I’d like non-ending scroll and to disable user hover popup 😬

      If you are using the web UI, then you can disable the user popups by popping this bit of css in the Additional CSS field of your user settings:

      .user_preview {
    display: none;
}

      As for infinite scroll, that isn’t a feature of the native web UI. There are some alternative UIs that support PieFed, and I don’t know all the features they have, so you might find that in those. Two that I know of:

        Blorp dev here. Trying to support all PieFed features but I’m a little behind:

        Currently working on:

        • PieFed feeds (basically the same as Lemmy v1 multi community support)

        Up next:

        • Emoji reactions
        • Create poll posts
        • Create event posts

        The PieFed devs are very fast and a little hard to keep up with 😅. But tbh, we already support more than enough of the PieFed api for you to have a great time imo. Please reach out to me if a specific one of those missing features is preventing you from joining.
