There is no error or anything when you try to make a post without logging in, it simply sit there w the spinning wheel until you hit cancel. It should prompt to login before user is allowed to compose a post.

And

When logging in, visually, it appears that the instance field defaults to lemmy.world, however the field is treated as blank

And and

Had to navigate away from login page after the above issue left the page in a faulted state and wouldn’t let me press “login” again after filling out the instance field.

    Thanks for the feedback. I updated the behavior when composing a post/comment. Now if you are browsing as guest, you will be prompted to login, or change accounts prior to composing. I’m still working out how to handle cases where the comment/community you’re posting to is not available from the instance you switch accounts to.

    I also updated the login view, it no longer shows the “lemmy.world” placeholder text for the instance. As you said, it was not notably distinguishable as a placeholder. I’ve also fixed the login button state so it doesn’t it doesn’t get stuck if an errored state.

    I should hopefully have this update released later today, along with a bunch of other fixes and new features.
