Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?

For me it's been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can't post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.

The thing i haven't worked out yet, is how to get it to open links to lemmy communities by default. For example if I click on a link from community promo it opens in Firefox focus rather than Jeroba. If I search for said community on Jeroba, it usually won't find it.

You can get it to open some links by going to app info, by holding the app on the homesceen. Then default links, you can toggle open support links and add the links available from there

thanks. It lists links to 8 instances. For some reason I couldn't add https://lemmy.world to it though.

I'll give it a try later, but I think Google broke that in the current version of Android unfortunately. I personally have to use "Better Open With" and some odd assortment of settings to get some control back.

Yes! How do you even search for a community in Jerboa?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To search on Jerboa I've been clicking the bookmark bar next to home icon, I can normally find communities this way

Thanks! I actually had somehow missed that.

There's a communities item, but some instances require that somone searched for that community by url (the full url of the community) on the instance main page before searching for the community in Jerboa will work. Be better if the Jerboa community search just scraped some master list or something.
