From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I'm wanting to implement that into liftoff. That's the main feature I've been wanting in apps.
To clarify this app is a resurrection of an abandoned Lemmy app, when this app was active Lemmy was not as popular and we didn't have massive instances like Lemmy world. Working through this is a fun challenge but it's also a user experience challenge. What instance are you having issues with?
Well, many, to be honest. I have a few accounts, 2 on sh.itjust.works and 1 on lemmy.fmhy.ml. Some communities appear in results on one instance, others don't, and vice versa. If you try to open up the community via your instance (my.instance/c/community@another.instance), it just returns a 404 🤷. This happens on both lemmy.fmhy.ml and sh.itjust.works. For example, I can see and join the OpenBSD community from my account on lemmy.fmhy.ml, but not from either of my accounts on sh.itjust.works. I can see other communities on that instance just fine, but that particular community, no.
And this happens with a lot if other communities as well, the OpenBSD one stuck in my mind cuz I really wanted to be in that one with all of my accounts, but I can only be with just 1 account.
Oh, and the pending thing 😒. The pending communities show up in my feeds, yet they're still marked as pending. Cancel pending, subscribe again, wait a few days... yep, still pending.
It's buggy, I know, but it's new and all new things are, so I don't really mind. I was meaning to make a bug report regarding some of these bugs on Lemmy, just haven't gotten around to it.
PS: All of the searches regarding the communities were done in the web UI, so it's not a Jerboa bug, it's a Lemmy bug.
