Hello,

First of all thank you so much to the developers of jerboa, the app is simple and responsive (coming from reddit it’s a huge plus), and it just works!

One thing I am personally missing is the ability to easily discover communities. You can search by keyword and that works great, but I would rather have an exhaustive list of them all, especially as I am new here and I might be missing on some of them because I did not enter the right keywords.

The alternative i found is to search for each vowel ‘a’, ‘e’ etc… because all communities names have at least a vowel, but it would be more practical to have an actual listing

What do you think?

There is a “3rd party” tool available on the Feddit.de instance, called browse.feddit.de. It’s basically a full list of all communities on all instances. There you can also see what instance federates with other instances.

It’s not available in the app unfortunately, but you can at least somewhat discover what communities are available that way.

I hope this helps 😊

Is there an easy way to subscribe to a community outside of my instance once I found one on browse.feddit.de, preferably on my phone?

Edit: replaced sub with community

Ideally, the browser.feddit.de should have clickable links. Then on Android, Jerboa should register intent of such links and ask if the user would like to subscribe.
