Back in the day, using Reddit, I only subscribed to one or two subs and would just type the name in Rif search to go to another. Jerboa doesn’t allow that, and search doesn’t always find the community. So when I see a post from a community I want to return to, I’m subscribing to it.
- Is this a good idea? Is it causing increased load on the server end?
How are you managing communities?
Edit: thank you for all the replies. Very helpful.

Could someone tell me what jerboa is? That’s the second time today I’ve seen that name.
Literally it’s a small rodent kinda like a lemming, here it’s an android app for browsing whatever Lemmy instances/ communitys your apart of ✌️
It’s sn Android app that makes using Lemmy look and feel a little more like Reddit and other similar platforms
You can do that in jerboa. The thing is that the name may not be exactly the same, and, depending on your instance, it may take more or less time, but searching for communities is perfectly possible.
Lemmy.ml and the other mainstream instances are overloaded, and thats why it appears as if it doesn’t work
Mashing subscribe to anything looking interesting and seeing how it goes.
Removing ones that aren’t useful.
You can just search here for communities https://browse.feddit.de/
Though I also browse /all/ to find new communities I might not think to search for.
Also lemmyverse.net
