Subscribing to a lot of communities (aussie.zone)

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.

You can do that in jerboa. The thing is that the name may not be exactly the same, and, depending on your instance, it may take more or less time, but searching for communities is perfectly possible.

Lemmy.ml and the other mainstream instances are overloaded, and thats why it appears as if it doesn't work
