If you are on this post : click on the name of the community at the top (above the post title). Then the community opens and you can click “subscribe”. In some communities you need to be approved, then you see “pending”.
Right, sorry, I was misremembering my issue. There’s no search bar on Jerboa, so I can’t find new communities through the app unless they happen to pop up on All.
The second icon in the bottom navigation bar of the main view gets you to the list of your subscribed communities. In the searchbar at the top you can search for other communities over all instances.
Highlighting text is a pain. I’ve realized you can’t tap or swipe the cursor to select more. You can only swipe over text and hope you got it all. This is still an alpha build in active development though.
The bugs I’m talking about are unmistakingly a backspace bug and a cursor bug. I would blame my phone then, but I’ve had it on different phones with different keyboard apps. Oh well, thankfully the webapp straight from an instance is great as well.
What keyboard app are you using? I do also hate that when editing a comment my cursor dwfuskts to the very beginning of the first line. Have it be after the existing txt makes more sense.
There’s Jerboa, which is pretty good. I’m still getting used to it’s functionality.
I haven’t figured out how to subscribe to new communities on Jerboa. I keep having to go back into the web browser to do it.

Ah, thanks! I thought that would just search my subscribed communities!
Do you get the bug that messes with your cursor if you try to move it and then write? Or the backspace issue?

Well I have bugs with the cursor too. Can you describe what you mean by the backspace bug you’re experiencing?
Perhaps better to try to illustrate. The | is my cursor.
First I write somethinge.
First I write somethinge. |Find a typo, so backspace thrice, previous space disappears
First I writesomething|Insert cursor, try to add space, accidentally add an N due to small onscreen keyboard.
First I writen|something.Backspace to remove N, word contracts again.
First Iwrite|something.It keeps going until the entire text field is one gigalarge single word.
I am not experiencing that, no.

Scrolling feels really janky
