A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How are those search terms meant to work? I've seen so many people recommend searching for communities by adding an exclamation point in front, but that has never produced any results when I search using Jerboa. Is that actually supposed to work, or is the exclamation point a placeholder that I have to know to exclude or replace with something else?
It seems to fail initially, but if you wait a few seconds and try again, it should show up. At least that's how it is on desktop.
I've had the same experience, I've found better luck subscribing to outside communities through the websites on desktop but it's still not 100% for me. Jerboa really needs to find a way to handle community links properly.
