    But you can subscribe to communities outside? How do I find communities and subscribe to them outside of my instance? I have some, but I think they came during the initial setup.

      Yes, and I’ve been told you can be invited to mod communities outside your own instance.

      Jerboa has a search button, it’s on the webpage too somewhere.

        Hmm. Is the search showing me all the communities? It seems like the web page lists communities and I can’t figure out how to actually find them on the app. I search communities and only like 10 come up for any given search term. And then 50% of them just perpetually say “pending” after clicking join

          The “pending” part is a glitch. You are actually subscribed. I am still pending in a sub I am currently a moderator of.

          Are you using jerboa?

          You search for a term and it’ll give you communities with that term. There aren’t many at this point. I’ve heard perpetual pending is a bug, you’re subbed.

              It’s basically a ctrl+f function. There may be more related but unless it’s in the community name it doesn’t show up.

              2 weeks ago this place was empty.

        You are correct about the mod part. I’m a mod on a community outside of lemmy.world. Haven’t noticed any missing features.

      Click on the communities tab up top, then make sure you select “All” instead of “local”. You can search or scroll. And subscribe. I would go into the communities and see if they are active. Lots of communities are duplicated across instances but usually one becomes the main community that everyone ends up using.
