I just downloaded the app, its loading posts just fine from lemmy.world, but where on earth do I login?

Clicking on Profile and Submit just tell me they wont work unless I am logged in. Ideally these two CTAs should instead redirect to login if you are not logged in.

I am looking all over this interface and I am either totally blind or completely unable to find the login option, is it buried somewhere or am I crazy?

Edit: Nevermind found it, top of the burger menu, I think maybe the UX of that button could be made a bit more visual, it at first glance with the icon looked like just a title.

Perhaps add a big green + symbol on it so it pops more for adding your account? The dull blue and lemmy icon aren’t what I normally would associate typically with a login button, so it totally didn’t pop out at me. Legit took me a solid 5+ minutes to notice it D:

    I know you’ve found it now, but for any future person, a little pro-tip: don’t start customising the interface before you have added your phone, as the app will revert to default and you’ll need to do it again. But…

    Pro-pro-tip: If you have already played around with the customisation settings, before logging in, you can back them up, then add your login, then restore the backup.

    Settings shortcut: Settings > Backup

    For me it was in the hamburger menu at the top left. Very top of that menu.

      There’s also a profile thingy on the three dot menu at the top right I can click to change accounts. The hamburger menu may not exist for you if you configured Sync without it.
