Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new "subreddits" on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/

nice site, thx mate

[โ€“] clutchmatic 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still do not know how to access them through Jerboa

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you run the latest update?

It has a "communities" entry in the sidebar that let's you search and subscribe communities.

Oh I can see now. Many thanks!

I wish there was even a browse future. Sometimes the mind can't think of what it wants is called.

Not sure why I'm telling you, but thanks for listening.

Sure thing

What do you mean by "browse" feature?

There is a way to see a feed of all Lemmy activity.

In jerboa you can see it after you click on on the burger menu in the top right corner of the screen and select "All".

[โ€“] Dozzi92 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, more browse just subs, versus posts on individual subs. Like, just a list of subs.

And I am 90% Jerboa at this point, so if it's on the browser version, disregard everything, because I'm here now and I'll probably stumble upon it.

That website is really laggy for me on Android + Firefox. It's running at like 5-10 FPS for no apparent reason. Is this happening to anyone else?

The first Lemmy hug-of-death !

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

...I don't think so. The website's search is working fine. It's just the client-side framerate that is slow. A hug of death wouldn't cause that.

Yeah you're right. Everything is so new, hopefully they get it working more smoothly because it looks like a fantastic tool to find communities.

I've been using browse.feddit.de and lemmyverse.net/communities, but this one could potentially be much easier to navigate for Reddit migrants.

Fantastic suggestions! You're my first saved post on Lemmy.
