I don't really get the difference. And can I visit different servers from the one I'm on? I don't see a way to on Jerboa
Jerboa now doesn't have community search, but you can visit your instance website and subscribe. If it hasn't needed community, go to community search and put full community name prepended with !, like ! Lemmy@lemmy.ml. then wait for like 10s and do the search again, your instance will fetch it and add to its community list.
I seem to be able to search for communities, because I found gaming lol. I'm wondering about instances, though
On jebora on the bottom next to the home button is the community list view and you can search it to find instances. In addition to that from the home page if you click the little filter icon(that one with the three lines creating a triangle shape down) you can select all and it will show you links federated with your instance as well.
I don't seem to be able to find instances on the community search, nor do communities show up when I type "!community@instance" could this be a bug?
Might be
When I search I'm able to see instances I haven't joined yet
And join
But it's all still a new app so who knows
Regarding the search the !instance search there seems to be a bug even on browser where if you for example search !fdroid@lemmy.ml it has to be set to search all.
there are bugs with it currently, when you do the search click on Next Page and it should show up then, might take 10 seconds or so
or you can manually craft the URL like
https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/memes@lemmy.ml
Here's what I see when I try to type in a community not followed by anyone on my server. There's no next or anything. The three dots in the upper right corner don't do anything
Just tried switching to my account on a different server and found that community as it was followed by someone else in that server. Odd that I can't just find it on this one.
I don't know much about the Android mobile app, but now I'm curious to dig up one of my old phones and try it just to see. I've been mostly in a browser either oh my iPhone of MacBook, which is very odd for me as I primarily reddit via the native mobile app.
