    I am confused as to what this means, can you elaborate?

        Wow, I love this. I’ve generally relied on looking at stuff that hits the main feed to find content but this has opened up so much extra content that I didn’t know existed. Great feature!

          Random is also pretty good for discovering new content too

              go to More Actions by either clicking the FAB (floating action button in the bottom-right corner of your screen) or […] in the top-right corner. You should see an overlay menu with extra actions, within them you’ll see Random and Random NSFW.

        Love having that available! Could you add a search bar in the list, though? It’s kind of difficult finding specific instances sometimes.

          Filtering for instances, communities and filters should all be added actually.
