I'm having trouble finding my way around Lemmy
Hello. I recently joined. Some questions. How do I view private messages (that being those I sent to a member, rather than posts to a community)? I've looked in my profile, but it's not listed there. I only see "Overview", "Comments", "Posts", and "Saved". "Saved" shows nothing, and both "Overview" and "Posts" only show two recent posts (I've posted ten times since joining). There seems to be no category for Messages. Anywhere. None. Zilch. And Comments likewise is showing nothing, despite the fact that I've commented on a few topics I've found here. And it doesn't matter if I choose "old" or "new" or "top all time" filters, it simply shows nothing.
Is there some sort of documentation that explains how things work? Because for me, it has not been a very intuitive experience.
For private messages, you want to click the bell icon in the top right near your user name. That will take you to a page where you can filter between new/all messages.
For documentation:

Though I warn you, like every other immature open source project the documentation could use some work, haha.
Thanks, yes, that is where it’s listed. I just noticed the “unread” and “all” filters, which (being set on the default “unread”) buggered up the list. And thanks for the documentation link. I'll take a look.
my guess is the bell icon / notification icon is where your inbox is...
