I’ve been running into this issue as well(also on jerboa). It seemed as though I needed to create a new account attached to the instance I was linking to in order to subscribe to the community. I don’t want to have to juggle between 3 or 4 accounts to browse the communities I’m interested
I know what you mean. The biggest issue I’m having is finding and subscribing to communities that are not a part of the instance I joined with.
I kept seeing links that listed communities I was interested in subscribing to, but then it would ask me to log in, I’d put in my credentials, only for the log in to not work. I finally realized I had to make a new account with that instance, and then i could log in and join it. I don’t want to have to juggle between 3 or 4 accounts to enjoy content, plus much if it is duplicated as some instance are linked, but others are not.
Also I use Jerboa to browse lemmy, don’t have a PC, and would rather use an app than my web browser(Brave).
RIP RIF
And fuck u/spez
