Some interesting progress here.

Easier community customisation and easier posting of all sorts of content types to your favourite communities.

When I went to post this link here it actually highlighted how difficult that was for me on mobile.

I copied the link, came to an xf tab I had open and there was no post button available.

I open the menu - still no post button available.

I have to make a decision, what link in the menu do I have to tap to find a button so I can make a post?

I choose the forum index.

I tap the post button, I get a massive menu I have to read and browse to find a suitable forum, with no search box where I can type letters to refine my search.

I find a forum and select it, and make my post.

I’m sorry, but that is such an awful experience on mobile. It’s sooo many hoops to jump through, and I only continued because I’m quite familiar with this site. I can’t imagine how daunting that would be for a casual user.

We absolutely need a better posting flow.

Something like this

Side note: Is there no way for me to find threads I’ve started anymore? Looked at my content and it seems like I can only see a stream of every post in one big list

There seems to be a "Find" section on the profile page. Not sure how it looks on mobile.
