Sorry if there’s a megathread, didn’t see anything pinned.

Anyway, please can someone tell me how I’m supposed to add specific instances? The search doesn’t seem to show everything, or at least what I’m expecting to see. I’m signed up to lemm.ee. This jerboa place appeared in the search (before I joined) despite not being part of lemm.ee. However, I’m trying to find another page (https://lemmy.world/c/extrafabulous) but search doesn’t find it and I don’t know how to go directly there.

For the feedback, there’s a function in the Joey app where you long-press a thumbail and it pops up the image in an enlarged preview that disappears as you let go. Can Jerboa do this? I kind got used to it as it meant not having to open images/videos in the browser.

Oh yeah and can we hide communities without blocking them? I don’t really want to start blocking for the sake of it, but some communities appear in Local that aren’t relevant to me.

    Your local instance may not be federated with specific communities.

    On lemmy.world there is a community called “new communities” where there is a mega thread about federation with new communities and instances.

      I can see other lemmy.world communities so I assumed I’d be able to find this other one just fine, seems I have a lot to learn about lemmy, communities, federation!

    I searched using just Extra & found it, straight away… Could be a couple of reasons for your struggles, as your instance hasn’t yet updated to the latest Lemmy release version (0.18.0), that’s a possibility, the version of Jerboa you are using?..As for the rest, Jerboa is still in its alpha stage,…I’m sure more features will come long as it matures…I think it’s pretty impressive now…

      Yeah only ‘gifextra’ shows up for me unfortunately. I’m on the google play version which I’ve now read might be out of date. That might be it, thanks

      I did try to join lemmy.world but it’s sat at pending so I’ll have to wait and see if that changes anything.

        Seems like there’s a fair bit going on, with the Lemmy version release, & Jerboa, things should settle down once instances have caught up…🤞🏻
