Hello,

First of all thank you so much to the developers of jerboa, the app is simple and responsive (coming from reddit it’s a huge plus), and it just works!

One thing I am personally missing is the ability to easily discover communities. You can search by keyword and that works great, but I would rather have an exhaustive list of them all, especially as I am new here and I might be missing on some of them because I did not enter the right keywords.

The alternative i found is to search for each vowel ‘a’, ‘e’ etc… because all communities names have at least a vowel, but it would be more practical to have an actual listing

What do you think?

    Is there an easy way to subscribe to a community outside of my instance once I found one on browse.feddit.de, preferably on my phone?

    Edit: replaced sub with community

      Yes you can! You search via the communities tab on navigation bar.

      See my poorly made instruction screenshot. Keep in mind, it might take a second based on your instance.

      I think if someone else in your instance has subscribed to a community on that other instance, then you should be able to search up your desired community in the app itself. Otherwise the url needs to be something like myinstance/c/newcommunity@otherinstance, that will let you browse to the community from within your instance and then you can subscribe.

        Is this possible to do though the app? I saw a regional instance list in another thread and wanted to join it, however whenever I type in Washington@lemmy.world nothing shows up. Do I need to add the myinstance/c/ ahead of it?
