Urgh, yeah.

I use the 'official' Jerboa app and the web interface and duuude is it a Hassle to add a sole unknown community!

I'm doing them all for what I know ; pasting different link types into jerboa search, pasting the instance, !first, /c/ ... Going to web UI, doing the same, doing the lemmy.mysite.com/c/other@thatinstance.com or what the correct thing is (I have it somewhere) and obviously it still doesn't work.

For like 30 minutes.

Then it "just works" 😅

It would be great if admins at least (I can see the possible abuse if anyone can force-feed communities to the instance, but well they can today so.. ) can add communities to their instances by some "add-list" the server grabs quickly (I know we can by subbing to them but see above, it sure is not easy). Could be cool to be able to grab a bunch of fun communities, or art communities, or sport communities or whatever someone shares, and just force feed them to your instance.

I thought whitelisting was something along those lines, I sure was surprised 🙂.

Great job though Lemmy Developers, I'm quite sure Lemmy will roam the internet for ever!
