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.

!minimalism@lemmy.world 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.

The first time someone on an instance enters the name of a community, is when the instance goes and looks for it. Until then, that particular community is not federated to the local instance, and it is as if it does not exist.

Searching for a community in Jerboa, does not seem trigger this establishing of a connection.

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 [!jerboa@lemmy.ml](/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml) 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.

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.

[–] TootSweet@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

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

I've found this mainly happens when trying to search for communities on other instances

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm guessing this arises from that community not being shared with your home instance yet? Or some similar desync issue.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Yup. Instances don't start syncing until someone requests it.
