Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Sorry if this has been asked, but how do I find and subscribe to communities if no one on my instance has searched for it yet? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I cant search for some communities that show up in newcommunities, and I hear that thats because no one on my instance has been to them yet. Well, how do I be the first one? I cant join by searching because it wont show up, and if I click on a link there it takes me out of the app to that communities instance, and logs me out, and I cant log in because I only have the option to log in to their instance which I dont have an account on.

That doesnt seem to be working in Jerboas search bar, searching for communities I know exist that way doesnt pull any results. Is there a setting im missing, or am I searching in the wrong area? Im using the button second from the left on the bottom, looks like a bulleted list to search.

Same here. I always have to search for and subscribe to new communities through a browser. And after that, I have to kill the app and open it again for the new community to show up in my list. There might be a different way to reload the community list, though. Just haven't found it, yet.
