Is there an easier way to start a new post?

It seems the only way now is to navigate to the community you want to post it, and menu>post. Is there a way to add a post button on the bottom bar perhaps, then have a post screen with a community selection? If not, might be a cool idea for future maybe if enough people think that would be useful. Cheers

It’s based off Apollo for the most part so I assume they’re trying to keep everything in the same spirit. How it is makes the most sense to me coming from Apollo.
While we're on the subject, can Dev consider making TEXT posts the default or at least TEXT/LINK asthe first two default post type? I rarely post images and always have to double back, unless thats used as a method to get people to slow down and check over/proofreadtheir post more closely
- Yeh good suggestion, I find text post makes the most sense in terms of default. But your right, current config does make people slow down a bit before posting
  
  Maybe 2nd/middle then 😈 Just do IMAGE last cuz its objectively the rarest in my conjecture
I occasionally feel the same way. However, I don’t think it’s a big issue to select the community first and then post to it instead of creating a post and selecting the community after. It’s the same amount of steps either way.
I mean, if you can start a new post from anywhere but then still have to select the community to post it to from the post editor, I’m not sure how that saves you any clicks.

What’s the advantage here?
- “You can start a new post from anywhere” How so?
