First I have to say, that this site feels quite incredible. To have such a thoughtful reply to my very first post (myco-remediation) was a VERY inspiring moment.

Second, there aren't many people I've met (and I've traveled to all 50 states and ~24 countries) that are actively working to get plastic out of their life (like you mentioned in your SD talk Paul). Most people have no idea why I even care, but I subscribe to the same philosophy. Stop feeding the beast (reduce demand for stuff that pollutes, poisons, maims, kills)  I call it voting with my wallet...

Wish I'd found you sooner, but you folks are my tribe!

My goal with this post is to try to make the initial engagement with new users (like me) a bit more rewarding and a little less confusing

To that end, it may be helpful:

Suggestion:
1. To have a default view that shows last reply first and also shows (on summary) when the thread was created. As well as buttons/icons for first/last msg (see image 1)

If this resonates, please let me know how I might be able to help.

Overall though, I just want to reiterate how joyful it can be to have found my most meaningful digital place...

Appreciatively!

One of the features of PIE is to jump to the first reply since you last viewed the thread.

There are a lot of other features that make navigation easier with PIE

So lovely to hear of others appreciating Permies too.

Having pie creates a green line, and then when you click on a topic, it takes you to the first post that you haven't read in that topic. I find it extremely helpful.

I have a monthly pie subscription, so that I never run out of this feature and never have to think about renewing.

Pie also helps Permies to keep running, so is a nice way to help out a little.
