Documentation explaining use of Collections

Open Danie10 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I see from other issues logged that Collections is actually a collection of posts, not photos. That is fine but I think it needs to be explained in the help documention how it's intended to be used?

For example, I created two public collections for my profile at https://pixelfed.social/danie10 but don't see them mentioned anywhere on the profile view (I even tried viewing my profile from a logged out browser but it only shows counts for posts, followers, and following).

I also don't see any option with a post I've already created, to add that post to an existing collection (see attachment). I would expect a collection can grow over time.

I have solved the issue of why I was not seeing the collections on my profile - there were some lab features that altered the layout.

But having a description in the documentation about how Collections should work, and being able to add a post later on to a Collection from the feed (you can add if standing within a collection), would still be useful. As mentioned in another issue also seeing a name below each Collection in the Collection view instead of just the image, would be useful.
