That was a wired controller in the submersible; they wouldn’t have had to do this. Everything about that submersible was ridiculous, just not in this particular way.

I wonder if there is a country or municipality somewhere where the busses are purple. They can’t all be yellow, surely.

Yeah, it’s barely working for me at all, and I’ve been trying it for at least a week now. Sometimes I’ve written out long comments only for them to just vanish forever with a little error message.

Even when you understand all that, though, it does just feel weird and unintuitive that you have to search for the community you want to interact with from within your home instance, and can’t just directly go to that instance’s website, e.g. beehaw.org, and log in.

Having an app (including a desktop app) to point people to that would just consolidate everything for a given user so that it’s more intuitive, and so that you can easily switch between accounts or set it up to see posts from all your accounts together, would make it a lot easier on newbies, and make navigation more convenient for everyone else as well.
