In the top left corner of the screen is the current page. I think by default it's either All or Local. Tap on that and select Subscribed.

When you are on the page you want as your home page, tap on the three dots on the bottom right corner of the screen -> Set as home page.

Thanks for answering! If anyone has suggestions on how to make this less confusing let me know.

What are you looking for, exactly? What is it that you are finding confusing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sorry let me clarify. I've been observing questions people are posting and a lot of users have asked about either how to select a particular feed or how to bookmark/set a feed as their home page. This indicates that these things are particularly hard to find in the app and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make these more intuitive or easier to discover.

Oh, sorry, I thought I was replying to the other person, I didn't realize it was you! Anyway, I also noticed the same thing, so I have a few suggestions:

  • My old Reddit app (Relay for Reddit) had the Subscribed page as the home page, which is what people want usually.
  • I suppose you could add the option to choose the homepage when you boot the app for the first time (and maybe also mention how to change it).
  • Adding the option to change it from the options menu.
