Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

[email protected] Is the latest one I've found. I can find it if I go to my instance in the web, but not within the app.

I've noticed the same on the web UI. Searching a non-local community more often doesn't work than does.

Search by community URL instead https://lemmy.tld/c/community

I'm on latte.isnot.coffee and I just searched both [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) and https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa and didn't get results for either. Neither has a message saying that there are no search results, but neither shows any results either.

Screenshot of latte.isnot.coffe community search interface showing no results and no "no results" message for the search term "https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa"

Search by the URL https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa, it's faster, if you search by [email protected] then you need to search again but only the community name jerboa

Like here "Method One: Search by URL"

Type in your search query, hit "Search", refresh the page. Or don't. Just wait a couple seconds.

I can sometimes get them to populate if I do it twice or change it from Communities to All in the search filters. Other times, it just takes an extra 5-10 seconds after returning no results.

I've seen both of those behaviors as well, but more often than those, it just never displays results.
