Sorry if there’s a megathread, didn’t see anything pinned.

Anyway, please can someone tell me how I’m supposed to add specific instances? The search doesn’t seem to show everything, or at least what I’m expecting to see. I’m signed up to lemm.ee. This jerboa place appeared in the search (before I joined) despite not being part of lemm.ee. However, I’m trying to find another page (https://lemmy.world/c/extrafabulous) but search doesn’t find it and I don’t know how to go directly there.

For the feedback, there’s a function in the Joey app where you long-press a thumbail and it pops up the image in an enlarged preview that disappears as you let go. Can Jerboa do this? I kind got used to it as it meant not having to open images/videos in the browser.

Oh yeah and can we hide communities without blocking them? I don’t really want to start blocking for the sake of it, but some communities appear in Local that aren’t relevant to me.

    Thanks for the first 2, I suspect my google play version is out of date as those links don’t find it for me so I’ll just use the browser for now. The play store has no updates so perhaps it’s in the provess of being pushed

    As for the third, I guess there isn’t much of a difference? I’m drawing comparisons to reddit here but there were lots of subs I’d unsubscribe from so they wouldn’t appear on my feed but I could still occasionally view them. Maybe it’s just me being weird but I feel blocking is bit much for subs that haven’t done anything wrong. Ah it’s fine though, just me being picky I guess!

      I’m not sure I got it right, but if you’re not subscribed to a community you shouldn’t see its posts once you’re browsing with the “subscribed” option. If you want to browse using the “all” option and hide certain communities, then yes I think it would be a nice option to have.

      I see 0.0.35 on the play store as of earlier today, so maybe check? I don’t know if they roll out to different regions at different times though.

      Yeah, blocking would eliminate them if you select “all,” and I’m not sure if it prevents you from navigating directly (I don’t think it does?). So you have three options:

      • subscribe - see it in your “subscribed” filtered view
      • nothing - only see them in “all”
      • blocked - don’t see them in “all”

      So I think blocking does what you want, but I’m not 100% sure what all it does.

      That said, if you only wanted to see a community on web and not on your phone, I could see a mobile-only feature for that.
