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)
By clicking search on the bottom bar, and typing it in there. Maybe that’s the wrong way to do it? Not sure…
I don’t have a solution to offer, but I am using the same app, same method, and had the same issue. I’m thinking it might be a bug in the app because it isn’t consistent in how it’s not working for me.
Use the left panel and click on /all, so I can see everything
That’s only all the things that the instance knows about. That other people have already searched for
