& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Thanks for the suggestions. However they didn't work.

What's odd is that the instance I joined does seem to know about the other instance as I can see one community on the other instance. Could the community on the other instance be "hiding" themselves somehow?

Here's the one I'm trying to join: https://midwest.social/c/milwaukee

Edit: I finally got it to work! I went to the web interface for my instance and kept searching for it and then it finally found it. Once the web interface found it, then Jerboa found it.

Great, then my theory was correct. Yes the instance was known, but not the community.

Can you recommend a resource that would explain these differences and more Lemmy lingo? I'm still quite overwhelmed by everything. Thanks!

Most oft the stuff I know I read from some explanation posts in my first days, but I don't habe a link atm. You can always read the Lemmy docs, there is a section "following communities", but that's also a very basic level without too much technical details.

I will send you some resources if I stumble over them again!

Thanks! I think while we all figure this out it's good to just coast along as well. Fake it till you make it, haha!
