Where is the search button on the Lemmy Android app?

“Hi, I come from Reddit and I am new to this world. After trying it for a while, I don’t understand why there is not a Search button here? I know the icon at the bottom, which you can use to search for communities, but the icon is a bit difficult to realize. Also I can’t still find how to search for contents on Lemmy.

This button?

Whoops I didn't crop this but it's at the bottom.

What is your client? I use the official one. It looks like this:

They're using Jerboa on Android in dark mode... What "official" client are you talking about?

trmdi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Yes, that is Jerboa 0.0.33 on Google Play. Tried the dark mode but got the same icons.

Well damn... That's confusing to me... Maybe they pushed a new version since I installed a couple days ago but my icons in Jerboa look like theirs and not yours even in regular / non dark mode

Nope... Just double checked and mine is 0.0.34

Try updating

You're right. 👍

Right on! Good luck. I have a feeling we're in for a fun next few weeks as Lemmy / the fediverse continues to grow and better apps are developed and released.

What kind of "contents" do you mean?

trmdi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I mean searching for threads by keywords. For example "lemmy search button" then I get this thread.

So, this isn't exactly a "button" like you were hoping for but maybe try this site and bookmark it if you like it and find it meets those needs for now...
