Coming from reddit of course, I cannot figure out how to get to some of the communities I followed there. Either they don’t exist or I’m doing something wrong. Like I frequent r/android and r/SquaredCircle, r/movies, r/gaming, r/fossdroid just to name a few. Is there something similar here? Thank you!!
You can use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find a community, then copy the address (https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa for example) into your instance’s search bar, give it time to fetch it (it will show “no results found” at first, be patient), then click on the link that pops in search, open the sidebar from there and subscribe.
Yeah, it’s super awkward now, but it’s all growing pains - it’s only going to get better from here!
IME there’s no amount of patience that will find a community that doesn’t immediately appear in jerboa. Even on servers that you already have subs on.
This is going to be a lifesaver. Thank you so much!! Are you familiar with Jerboa? How would I get to these with that app?
