Back in the day, using Reddit, I only subscribed to one or two subs and would just type the name in Rif search to go to another. Jerboa doesn’t allow that, and search doesn’t always find the community. So when I see a post from a community I want to return to, I’m subscribing to it.
- Is this a good idea? Is it causing increased load on the server end?
How are you managing communities?
Edit: thank you for all the replies. Very helpful.

Could someone tell me what jerboa is? That’s the second time today I’ve seen that name.
Literally it’s a small rodent kinda like a lemming, here it’s an android app for browsing whatever Lemmy instances/ communitys your apart of ✌️
Ohhh that’s where the name comes from! They are such cute funky little things
It’s sn Android app that makes using Lemmy look and feel a little more like Reddit and other similar platforms
You can just search here for communities https://browse.feddit.de/
Also lemmyverse.net
Mashing subscribe to anything looking interesting and seeing how it goes.
Removing ones that aren’t useful.
Is this a good idea?
Yes, this is how lemmy is meant to be used.
Is it causing increased load on the server end?
Maybe, if you’re the only person on the instance that’s subscribed to that community but it’s not abnormal usage.
I’m locating communities with https://browse.feddit.de and just subbing. I had prob 50 or so on Reddit. Prob will end up with the same here.
