I figure a coupla folks are trying to learn the ins and outs of Jerboa today ๐
Thanks for the tip! Do any of y'all have advice on how to find new communities or instances to subscribe to within the app? I only have a vague understanding of how Lemmy works, but I know I can subscribe to communities outside my instance, I'm just struggling to figure out how to search for new ones.
Copied from another explanation: >use your search feature on your main instance and enter !{community_name}@{instance_url} then you can subscribe
So for example if you want to sub to the memes community in lemmy.ml then go to Search, type in "!memes@lemmy.ml", under Search change the dropdown from Communities to All (important step), then you should see the community which you can subscribe and post to.
Edit: added image for better understanding.
Ahh thanks! Is there a way to search for communities without knowing their specific name? For example, if I wanted to find communities or instances about cooking or another hobby, is there a way to search for those across all instances?

This post was a great start in my opinion. You can read about the ways to find communities there across all instances.
The main way that most seem to do it (it is also written about in the article) is using this site https://browse.feddit.de/
Maybe just try typing the name of the topic in the search field (eg. games)? Maybe some variants (eg. gaming, consoles, etc.). That usually works for me
