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.

Feature to browse all communities (not just by search keyword) (lemmy.world)

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

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

Copy and pasting the name in my instances search bar works for me.
