The title. How often do you turn off federation and only scroll through kbin threads and magazines?

To the left of the gear symbol which is your settings is the federation icon. Click on that and the Federation menu with the status (On | Off) will show up.

I know how ... I was wondering how often people use it. Do they leave it off? Leave it on? Switch ... if so, how often.

Oh, I'm sorry. My brain passed over the "often". My bad.

I haven't turned it off at all yet.

I misread it the same way!

Sometimes brains be that way!

To be honest, I would like some sort of notation on posts to let me know when I'm clicking on something from a different instance. I always have to check it after the fact. Most of the time I don't think it matters to much (to me), but with my swiss cheese brain I can get confused in threads which start talking about kbin/lemmy differences.

Edit: ah, might just be a glitch on mobile. I moved to my computer and there actually is the text telling me where it's from.

I haven't either, I enjoy the federated aspect and follow quite a few lemmy communities.
