Indeed nothing happens when clicking that button. Though below About Communityin the dropdown from clicking the three dots at the top, there should be an option to subscribe or unsubscribe. That should still be working, so you can still subscribe and unsubscribe with Connect!

Did you clear the app's data and cache after logging out of the apps?

By the way, posting from Connect!

Sorry, 1984 references!

Assuming you're viewing on mobile, at the top of the page, there should be a Sidebar button. Click that and it will expand the sidebar. There should now be a Subscribe button for you to subscribe to the community.

Note that the URL should look something like <local instance url>/c/<remote channel>@<remote instance hostname>. For example, my local instance is Beehaw too and I'm trying to view AskLemmy on lemmy.ml, so it should be something like beehaw.org/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I finally ploughed through Bleach. Started a couple of years ago after being baited to watch it too, but dropped it halfway as some of the arcs I felt just didn't tie in. But ended up finishing it last year!

The soul society arc is definitely awesome! I enjoyed the "manga arcs" quite a lot, hopefully you'll have the same experience too!

Do you see something like this when searching in the sidebar?

Reading / keeping up with Yofukashi No Uta. The anime is pretty chill: awesome scenes, great colours, and some good accompanying tunes!

Got round to reading Inuyasha!

In the search bar in the side drawer, you should be able to search for something like connect or lemmyconnect. Give it a few seconds to search and load up the search results. One this community shows up, you should be able to click it!

The screenshot you're sharing is the raw markup of Beehaw's custom error page. I think it's getting rendered because it's a different result from what other "typical" Lemmy instance would return in an error - either a status code or a specific error string. You can swipe it down to return to the previous view I'm pretty sure.

Connect should now have an option to hide read posts!

Your concerns are definitely valid, but just a reminder that majority if not all of the instances are volunteer-ran!

There may be donations, but I would hazard a guess that no one is "on salary" to maintain, update, and debug their servers let alone handle emergencies from the surge of users, activities, and shutdowns.

Also, quite a few instances are run by folks who are not sysadmins or developers, and are learning (or forced to) all the necessary skills to do these tasks that weren't easy to begin with.

Things will definitely get better in due time, especially if all the good folks hosting instances continue doing so. There's been a lot of optimisation and collaboration to make Lemmy more performant, so significant improvements will be showing up in the near future!
