How does the front page work? (fedia.io)

A small doubt I have.

When I enter the main page for fedia, https://fedia.io, I get a front page that contains all the magazines. However, I have set up my profile so that the front page contains only the subscribed ones.

In order to get there, I have to click on the "Fedia" link on the top-left corner, and then I get to the /sub page.

Isn't this slightly counterintuitive? Shouldn't our main page be the one we've requested in the profile, instead of having to click somewhere else?

I don't know if this is a fedia quirk or something in kbin, but I think this functionality is important.

I tend to agree that the main link should show the same as our /sub (bug or not). It would also be nice to have the same functionality of the current home page just in case I want to browse outside my subs without changing settings. Maybe a /all or something? Unless something like this already exists, but I couldn't find it.

@rinze Click on your username in the top-right, then "settings." At the very top, set your home page to "subscriptions."

Yep, that's how I have it, but still, it doesn't seem to work.

Also, I have enabled notifications, but I'm not getting anything. Where do they go?

Edit: Ok, I've seen the notifications page, but it's empty for me.

Yeah same. The notifications only worked when i just registered.

Notifications are running about a day behind. I've just had a load of my posts federated to Mastodon after two days. The server is overloaded, have patience.

I think it's a bug. Can't see it in the tracker so it might be worth reporting?

It's not a bug, per se, but it is counter intuitive. The setting changes the behavior of the Home link in the top bar, not the actual contents of the root path.

Should definitely file a feature request. I may even take a look myself and see how much of a PITA it would be to change.
