It's tough to find new communities on Jerboa, though. It doesn't seem to have the capability to search for them. I keep having to go to the browser to do that.
I noticed that too. I ended up just subscribing in the browser, so that I can access it via the app. However, I do like the app. It loads images in a way better format/UI than the browser does, IMO at least.
Oh ya, other than that, I've actually been very pleased with Jerboa, once I lowered the font size a bit and put it in list view to condense things more into an RIF - like view.

I used it to find all the instances I'm in and have found it really helpful in switching to Lemmy. Something built into the app would be nice though.
This is true, though it is being updated rapidly. I expect it won't be that long before you can. What I really would like to see is a way to consolidate duplicate communities.
One problem with Federated systems is that he end up having to do design by committee, which takes a long time and sometimes requires compromises that in the end make things worse.
I think something like multireddit would fix that. I'm not sure if that's something that can be implemented from the app or browser level or is related to Lemmy and Activity Pub, but that would be great. I used that function a lot to create dashboards of associated subreddits.
