I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Search for a community and write !buyitforlife@sh.itjust.works as you’re search term.

How are those search terms meant to work? I’ve seen so many people recommend searching for communities by adding an exclamation point in front, but that has never produced any results when I search using Jerboa. Is that actually supposed to work, or is the exclamation point a placeholder that I have to know to exclude or replace with something else?

It seems to fail initially, but if you wait a few seconds and try again, it should show up. At least that’s how it is on desktop.

I’ve had the same experience, I’ve found better luck subscribing to outside communities through the websites on desktop but it’s still not 100% for me. Jerboa really needs to find a way to handle community links properly.

Default search is for Communities but I found I could only find some I looked for if I changed it to “All” when searching. It would say nothing found otherwise. They were an existing (but new) community on another Lemmy instance.
