I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

See my reply for a clickable link that should work on any instance. I haven't tested in Jerboa yet. Let me know if it works.

Got an address not found error when I clicked on it

Hmm.. That's a shame. I can confirm that it doesn't work for me in Jerboa either, but it does work on the website. Looks like Jerboa doesn't handle URLs in that format correctly and tries to open it in a browser.

Try this: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected]

Jerboa is still trying to open it outside of the app for some reason. It's a different 404 page than last time so some might call it progress.

Edit. Tried the link again and got a 502 bad gateway error

I tried to search for the community from lemmy.ca (that's the instance you're on right?) and couldn't find it. Perhaps lemmy.ca can't see the community yet. I don't know. I still don't know how all this federated stuff works yet, I've only been here a couple of days.

Looks like perhaps Jerboa doesn't have a way to link to communities in a universal way like the website does. Shame, but I'm sure it will come.
