Could it be more complicated?

Surely.

  • Hi, new Lemmy noob here. I copy the link from step 2 but the link for search opens my browser and is unresolved and when I paste it in the search using the jerboa app nothing gets returned. What am I doing wrong?

      when I paste it in the search using the jerboa app

      These instructions are about the webinterface. I think the jerboa app just does not work this way. You might be lucky and just enter the name of the community/subreddit into the jerboa app search.

      If it does not work just use the webinterface for subscription.
