Hello,

First of all thank you so much to the developers of jerboa, the app is simple and responsive (coming from reddit it’s a huge plus), and it just works!

One thing I am personally missing is the ability to easily discover communities. You can search by keyword and that works great, but I would rather have an exhaustive list of them all, especially as I am new here and I might be missing on some of them because I did not enter the right keywords.

The alternative i found is to search for each vowel ‘a’, ‘e’ etc… because all communities names have at least a vowel, but it would be more practical to have an actual listing

What do you think?

    I’d like to add to this request that we allow searches by instance, or be able to view all communities within a particular instance. I sometimes hear about a new instance and want to see all the communities within it. Or I’m curious what new communities lemmy.ml might have and want to quickly view all their instances. Initially I tried to search “@lemmy.ml”, hoping that would work, but alas it did not. Just a thougt that feels related to this one!

      I think that is the main issue: search does not search the tag/url properly. If I enter the exact tag into the search engine (something like [email protected]), then it should be able to pull up the community easily. As of right now, there are some communities I have not been able to join even though I know the tag/url
