I looked at the feddit community list, and I can see communities (4-5 of the same name). When I search in my jerboa app, nothing shows up. Am I doing something wrong?

    How are you searching in jerboa? It’s possible it’s just a bug there. Or it’s possible jerboa doesn’t actually trigger the server to look for federated communities correctly

      It does not. Jerboa can only find already federated communities. If your instance hasn’t federated a com yet, you need search and sub to its exact name in a browser. This will trigger federation for that sub to your instance, and after that, others on your instance will be able to find it. (Even in Jerboa)
