I am currently logged into my account on lemmy.world. I’d like to view the home page of literature.cafe (or any other instance), view all the communities there etc.
I could just tap on the instance name, or even add instances that I wasn’t signed in to on liftoff which no longer works.
Is there a way to do this on voyager?
You must log in or # to comment.
Yes sign in without username/pw.
It will show top communities including federated though (I have plans to filter by top local-only communities), but you can still view the local feed etc!
Thanks!
In case you’re taking feature requests: It would be great if there was an option to view any instance without having to actually create an account.
I like the idea of being able to add guest accounts for this same purpose. Having an option in the Accounts window I think would make the most sense.
Voyager has guest accounts. Just sign in without username/pw
Ah! Thank you! Might be nice to have that as a tip on the login screen or even “leave blank for guest” for the alt text in the username field.
np. I thought about it, but I struggled to find a solution that didn’t increase the complexity of the UI for users brand new to fediverse/lemmy. The #1 priority of the login/signup flow is straightforward UX, and I am willing to sacrifice usability of power users for that.
One of my pet peeves with fediverse signup and login flows in general is information overload.
