Coming from reddit of course, I cannot figure out how to get to some of the communities I followed there. Either they don’t exist or I’m doing something wrong. Like I frequent r/android and r/SquaredCircle, r/movies, r/gaming, r/fossdroid just to name a few. Is there something similar here? Thank you!!
This is going to be a lifesaver. Thank you so much!! Are you familiar with Jerboa? How would I get to these with that app?
I tried using Jerboa actually, but couldn’t figure out how to easily look up communities and subscribe to them, so I’m just using a browser on my phone for now. I’ll try again after a couple updates, but browser is functional enough - a bit of jank here and there but that’s too be expected.
How do I even know where to go on a browser to login? I’ll try it.
Might depend on your instance (not sure, I’m still new too), but look for “sidebar” button or a hamburger menu - login/signups option will be there.
Jerboa is extremely basic. I can’t find it anywhere!
I was talking about where it is when you use the browser - no idea how it works in Jerboa, sorry.
Left at the top, hamburger menu. Click it, there you should be able to login. You have to type in your instance and then log in… it probably won’t be in the preprogrammed list
I am already logged in. I’m trying to figure out how to join other communities by using this https://browse.feddit.de/.

You should be able to go to the community browser (between messages and home) and just search for a community, for example “android”. It will then list communities that fit the search term sorted by number of subscribers.
If you see for example a community just called “android”, it means that the community is on the same instance as you are logged in. If you see something like “[email protected]”, it means it’s on a different server/instance called “lemmy.ml”.
It doesn’t really matter if you join a local community or one on a different server, so I would recommend you join the one with the biggest subscription numbers.
