How do I view my own profile? (lemmy.world)

This is maddening, what am I missing? In the hamburger menu in the top left, tapping on Guest switches to my username and loads the local communities feed, while tapping on my username switches to Guest and loads the subscribed communities feed. I can't seem to do anything with either my username or Guest -- no way to view my profile, posts or comments.

How do I get to my profile, saved posts and comments?

Also, does this app have an inbox/messaging feature? I don't even plan to use it, but I don't see it anywhere. I feel like a big chunk of the app is missing.

I tried searching and couldn't find an answer.

Make sure "show bottom navigation" is enabled in settings and then you should see the message & profile icon in the lower right when viewing the home page.

Alternatively, enable both those options in the "lateral menu" settings.

Awesome, thank you!! No idea why bottom navigation was disabled, but this worked.

Are we using the same app? I have a Profile button in the left drawer menu, and right below it is an Inbox menu.

It's in the hamburger menu.

Edit, realized this was already answered half a day ago. Should have checked the comments more first....

Do you have the bottom nav bar on?

Should have a home, inbox, search and profile shortcuts.

It can be enabled in settings General -> Bottom Navigation

There's an option to hide it on scroll, so that might be throwing you off a bit.

The only major feature missing I'm aware of, is spoiler support.
