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.

How to list all the communities for an instance? (self.jerboa)

You can select Home -> hamburger button -> Communities, but that just lists your subscriptions. I want to be able see all available communities for the instance I'm logged into.

It's available using the web UI, but I can't figure out how to do it with Jerboa.

I'm also interested in a way to do it for an instance other than my home instance.

lemmy instances are not automatically connected at least one user must be following a community for others to search it

I found a tool to basically create a bot account to add servers. It uses the lemmy api. I took this idea and created one as well (not sharing it’s terrible) but it went through all of my approved instances and all of the communities and subscribed to all. I now have 2300+ communities. That I can see from my instance

just go to an instance, click communities, then click local https://lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=Local this shows the communities that are local to lemmy.ml from my understanding

if you just want to search for new communities to subscribe to then check out https://browse.feddit.de/ from there you just copy the link and paste it into your instance search bar, hit search a few times if it doesnt show up. then when it does I usually open that community in a new tab, you will have to hit subscribe a few times if it stays as pending, just keep hitting subscribe until it says joined. if the subscribe button doesnt load for whatever reason Ive had luck clicking the name of the community so it reloads and usually the subscribe button shows up correctly

I mean through the Jerboa app though. What you're suggesting is through the web UI right?

[–] variants@possumpat.io 1 points 1 year ago

oh right sorry Ive been using the PWA through firefox and on the desktop, I forget to check what community im in when I find posts while browsing
