It is also very hard to subscribe to other server's community (or subreddit equivalent).

E.g.: i had account from beehaw, if i want to subscribe a channel from lemmy.world i need to see the list of community from lemmy.world comminity list, but I cannot subscribe from there because i dont have lemmy.worlda account. So i need to back to beehaw and search it again in community search bar.

In jerboa android, I didnt even see a way to search new community

Would be nice if there is a way to subscribe other server easily

I went through https://browse.feddit.de and subscribed to a bunch of communities that matched what I had on Reddit.

Yeah, just found that out the hard way myself. I got to lemmy.world and suddenly was no longer logged in etc... That is something that def needs improvement.

Agreed. There's a similar issue on Mastodon that's been confusing people for years and still hasn't been addressed, let's hope Lemmy prioritizes it a bit more!

From the community page https://beehaw.org/communities you can click all, and search for communities everywhere. Except for instances beehaw blocks.

In Jerboa, there is an icon on the bottom that takes you to the search function. I've been able to "join" communities from other instances using it
