Is there not a search button at the top-right? It has options to search subscribed/local/all and seems to work fine for me. I'm on an instance website, for clarity. Haven't tried Jerboa yet.

This is actually quite strange to me - that lemmy doesn't use permalinks by default. When viewing from a non-source instance, there's a link button between the comment count and the save button that takes you to the post on the source instance, but that seems inadequate. I guess the post on the origin instance is its own permalink, but I don't like that it's not distinct in some way.
At this point, me run out of alternatives worth trying. Just signed up for a lemmy instance today, and liking what I'm seeing so far (even if communities are quite a lot smaller than I'm used to at the moment), but there are other sites that might scratch the reddit itch that I'll try even if the fediverse stuff doesn't take off. Reddit has shown that that they're a) greedy, and b) incompetent at being greedy. And I'm not going to contribute to them again until I'm well and truly out of other options.
Used to use Ubuntu for almost everything, but I switched to Arch for my desktop a few years ago, and love it. Still use Ubuntu for basically all of my servers (personal and work).
I'd like to see more customization in general honestly e.g.: custom CSS (yes I know you can do it with browser extensions). I do agree that I think a more compact layout would be better though.
