I agree about the missing quality of life around comments and the inbox, but in what way is subbing to communities from other instances difficult? I’ve just been typing keywords into the search bar and have had no issue subscribing to any communities, no matter what instanc they are hosted on.
if you click on a link to an instance iirc it opens that instance in your web browser rather than displaying it by way of your instance, allowing you to subscribe to it. It’s strange
I started using Lemmy/Jerboa two days ago and have been able to navigate to communities outside of my instance while staying in the app. Maybe it was a recent update?
Still does it for me, either it opens the link in browser, inside that instance (therefore cannot suscribe) or Jerboa crashes/closes. Seems like a bug.
I’m embarrassed to admit how long it took me to find the search function in Jerboa. I almost never click the communities list tab so I never noticed it had the search.

Mlem, the iOS equivalent, does the same thing. I wonder if it’s a limitation of how the fediverse is structured?

Yeah, I found it completely by accident
