Yeah I get that, just wish it was easier to sink hooks into other instance communities (the weak documentation doesn't help of course). Mostly been opening up other instances, copying communities I like, then pasting them into the burggit search like was recommended and it's a 50/50 it plays ball, and then subscribing to it so it reaches my feed even semi-constistently. That Jerboa app is absolutely abysmal for discovery too, completely relegated to the local instance, so all you can reach is what floats up on the all page.
Yep, their jerboa app is really bad I hear. We recommend people install lemmy as a web app on their phone: https://burggit.moe/post/2411 << there's a post on how to do that, if by chance you didn't see it.
I too have noticed the adding instances via the search button doesn't always play ball, sometimes I have to wait awhile and other times I straight up have to try a few times. Though to be fair, Lemmy had very minimal usage until just recently. The devs are no doubt kicking it into high gear to try and meet the new demand.
Quick refresh seems to help it find the instance you're searching for in my experience.
