Hi!

I’m a pc enthusiast and like to follow and inform myself about news on computers and other tech related elements.

I’ve been interested since 2018, and I was trying to help other people and at the same time learning more since then.

I’m far from doing a job in the pc space (accountant), but it’s mostly a hobby.

I also like gaming. Mostly story driven games and challenging like metroidvanias. Tho not too challenging because I don’t have infinite time, and I’m not that good.

I hover have a hard time finding some communities.

Like pcmasterrace@lemmy.world.

If i search the community on from this instance, I cannot find it. However, if I go to another instance, not logged in, like https://sh.itjust.works, I can easily find the pc master race community.

Also I’m on android, and so downloaded jerbosa, can I search things in this app?

    Welcome!

    If you’re logged in to an instance that doesn’t yet have anyone subscribed to something@some.place, it won’t appear in search results. You can search for “!something@some.place” once, to trigger the instance to fetch the listing. Then you can search for “something” and it will appear for you to subscribe to. It’s clumsy, but it’s how it currently works.

    And yes Jerboa should do this too. The bottom icon with 3 lines, is your subscribed community list. It’s search bar at the top should work the same.
