Not sure when the update changed but I can't seem to find a way to view the community from the 3 dot menu of a post.
There used to be a /c/"community" on this menu.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious?

I think the community and user button was removed to reduce the size of that particular overflow menu, which can help with the user interface on devices with smaller screens and or lower resolution screens. It seemed like a decent compromise since tapping directly from the feed would be faster.
I suggested the removal in a post but it didn't solicit any replies opposed to the idea. Maybe it was a bad suggestion and I'm curious to hear the specifics of what people dislike about the change. Like I'm still trying to get used to not tapping on the community name at the top, when you're viewing a post, to visit the community; which was changed to refresh the post like a while back. So I can understand developing muscle memory and having to adjust to changes. Is the change annoying because of a forced workflow change or like loss of functionality?
It seems like loss of function. I can't seem to find a way to view eye community without going to the community from my side bar.
Below the title of every post should be a tappable link for the community. Wiith this post for example, there should be a "lemmyconnect" link below, "View community from post menu." Tapping on that doesn't take you to the community page?
Found the setting. Clickable names in the main settings wasn't on. I think it should be on by default but now all is good.
Ahh, so that's what it was. I agree that it may be better to have that setting on by default.
