How do you create topics? (quokk.au)

New to PieFed here. From my understanding: topics are a collection of communities, allowing you to see all their posts in one feed, right? In my instance, I can't create a topic, only if I'm already in one? It feels a little confusing. Any advice?

Users make feeds. Go to "Explore" and "My Feeds".

holy crap. I did not know I could make personal feeds. I got some work to do.

Unfortunately I monopolised a lot of terms when I made the Forumverse network.

Hm... My instance doesn't have "My feeds" under Explore! Weird.

Check https://quokk.au/feeds?

That's so weird! It works! Wonder why my instance doesnt show the link? It really should...

Hi, I just did some investigating.

It appears you don't get the 'My Feeds' or any of the feeds options until you actually subscribe to a feed in the first place. I'll bring it up with the devs, as I don't know if that's working as intended.

Also amazing feed, I've subbed ❤️

Edit: You can find the initial 'feeds' page under the Communities section, which when subbing will show up under Explore section.
