I have been using liftoff also but it is very difficult to find new communities not on your instance or on lemmy.world through the app I couldn't figure it out at first glance so I add them through a web browser and then can access them on the app
I've been adding and blocking communities through the browser since I joined. None of the apps currently seem to be able to add or block communities from other instances flawlessly just yet. I am enjoying watching this whole work in progress that is Lemmy though.
Yeah it does seem the apps are currently limited in that regard, hopefully development pace will continue and we'll be up to a point where we can do that in the next few weeks.
Once the apps are in a good state we can see how viable this will be long term.
That's what I am having to do too and thought I was just missing something, but that makes sense since everything is in flux and that might not be the greatest priority since the exodus is ongoing and stability/keeping up with updates is way more important.
