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.

searching for instances on Jerboa (midwest.social)

Going to the search feature doesn't seem to yield any results when I search for things. Ex: I want to find Disney instances, but typing in 'Disney' in the search field provides no results.

I am on an instance that is at version 0.18.

Any help is appreciated!!

For me at least jerboa isn't really functional for searching for new communities, let alone instances. You're better off in your mobile browser. And even then you'll only find instances that are already federated with your home instance (meaning someone on you home instance will have had to search and subscribe to one of the communities on the instance you're trying to find). Your best bet for finding instances is actually outside websites like https://join-lemmy.org/instances or other websites dedicated to listing and sorting instances.
