A few questions about the app

Hello everyone, new to Boost, I am coming over from Connect. I am really liking the experience so far but I had a few of questions about it.

I have been through the settings and could not find it and I wanted to know if there is a way to have the image lead a post in card view. I mean have all the information, title, everything shown after the image while you are scrolling?

Can you set your default scroll to All? I was able to make it Hot but it always goes back to Subscribed when I come back to the app.

Is there a way to subscribe to a community without having to visit it? You can block a community from the ellipses but I cannot find a subscribe.

Thank you all very much.

Go into Settings-General-Subscriptions, tap the three dots on All and select "Set as default"

If you swipe left when visiting a community, you should see the Join button

Thank you but I knew that. I wanted to know if you can join a community from the scroll like you can block it. Without having to visit it first.

Oh, I see what you mean now. As far as I know then no, I don't think there is any way to join a community straight from the feed.

I guess the closest equivalent would be from the explore list when searching communities:

But I don't think that's much more helpful to your use case.
