Sidebar information

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this is supposed to do, but I thought the ‘Sidebar’ menu item used to show information about the community you were viewing. But it seems to show instance info now. Is that right?

  • When viewing a community feed, or post, the sidebar will show the community sidebar. If your viewing the home feed, the sidebar shows the instance sidebar. Is this not working correctly for you?

    • I don’t think so. For example from here:

      community

      I get this:

      sidebar

      • Alright, I was able to reproduce this issue. It looks like it is working correctly if you open the sidebar from an open post, but not from the community feed. I’m wondering if this is the same issue that is causing the post composer not to detect the open community.

        This should probably be a simple fix, I’ll look into it here in a little while when I get home.

        • Same issues here. In addition, I followed a link to a new community but I could not subscribe because the interface thought I was still in the home feed. Thanks always for the awesome effort and time you put into this.

          Edit: could subscribe from inside a post in the community I was interested in.

    • I tried this and from the Arctic community Arctic community I get my own instance’s sidebar sidebar. The other user seems to be getting their own instance’s sidebar from this community.
