You can long tap on the username of the thread you want to hide. It was not the most intuitive thing for me but I found it accidentally and maybe I can save you from the searching!
That behavior is about to change. There’s already a jerboa update available that changes the thread-hiding trigger from long-tap on the comment header to regular-tap on the comment body (away from links and other tappable bits of the comment).
This update is available on f-droid now, but only came out yesterday I think. Might not be on the play store yet, but get ready for this to change on you.
I hope they add an option to swap the long and short press actions. I’ve found myself accidentally tapping and collapsing a ton of comments today.

Better yet, get your apps straight from the source by using Obtainium to manage app updates from GitHub. Not sure why I don’t see this talked about more. https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium
Copied from another explanation: >use your search feature on your main instance and enter !{community_name}@{instance_url} then you can subscribe
So for example if you want to sub to the memes community in lemmy.ml then go to Search, type in “!memes@lemmy.ml”, under Search change the dropdown from Communities to All (important step), then you should see the community which you can subscribe and post to.

This post was a great start in my opinion. You can read about the ways to find communities there across all instances.
The main way that most seem to do it (it is also written about in the article) is using this site https://browse.feddit.de/
Tip: Long tap the vote counter area to access upvote and reply buttons to interact with comments from your inbox. The upvote from inbox is a bit laggy but works. This has helped me streamline a little bit.
This is something I’ve been trying to figure out how to do since moving over from reddit. Looks like Jerboa is an android app right? Alas, I have an iPhone… But I’m glad you worked something out!
