due to the way the Fediverse works (servers hosted on many different machines rather than one large machine), text search isn't (officially) possible. on Mastodon you have the option of searching by hashtags, but I don't think that works on Lemmy.

you would have to use an external search engine like DuckDuckGo, Google or something like https://www.search-lemmy.com/

I don't think that's true. Voyager can search posts.

Most recent Mastodon version allows users to opt-in for their posts be searchable

Why is it possible to search posts on the lemmy-ui then ?

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
