I feel like I am crazy, where is the login? (lemmy.world)

I just downloaded the app, its loading posts just fine from lemmy.world, but where on earth do I login?

Clicking on Profile and Submit just tell me they wont work unless I am logged in. Ideally these two CTAs should instead redirect to login if you are not logged in.

I am looking all over this interface and I am either totally blind or completely unable to find the login option, is it buried somewhere or am I crazy?

Edit: Nevermind found it, top of the burger menu, I think maybe the UX of that button could be made a bit more visual, it at first glance with the icon looked like just a title.

Perhaps add a big green + symbol on it so it pops more for adding your account? The dull blue and lemmy icon aren't what I normally would associate typically with a login button, so it totally didn't pop out at me. Legit took me a solid 5+ minutes to notice it D:

I know you've found it now, but for any future person, a little pro-tip: don't start customising the interface before you have added your phone, as the app will revert to default and you'll need to do it again. But...

Pro-pro-tip: If you have already played around with the customisation settings, before logging in, you can back them up, then add your login, then restore the backup.

For me it was in the hamburger menu at the top left. Very top of that menu.

There's also a profile thingy on the three dot menu at the top right I can click to change accounts. The hamburger menu may not exist for you if you configured Sync without it.
