Holy shit, you just blew my mind. Thank you so much for sharing this. Turns out there are so many communities for topics I've been searching for that I couldn't find before.
It has been such a fucking frustrating experience migrating to Lemmy from Reddit. Nothing is easy or intuitive. Nothing just works straight out of the box.
EDIT: Case in point, I found a community on lemmyverse, clicked the link to open it in Jerboa, and it stuck me in a loop where pushing the back arrow did nothing but load the same page over and over again. Had to kill the app and re-launch it. Yay.
