Lobby Hop 

An act of one switching lobbies in an online game multiple times in quick succession in hopes to find a certain person who may be:

Appearing offline;

Not joinable through profile;

May have blocked the person attempting to lobby hop.

This person could know the lobby hopper irl, or the lobby hopper could be trying to find a popular content creator for that game and thus don't know each other irl.

Kyle was lobby hopping for 3 hours straight in GTA Online to try and find a content creator named Dempy - he was unsuccessful.

Lobby-Hopping

The action of joining lobby's in a video games multilayer action (i.e Xbox live) that doesn't have the option of two or more people who want to play in a game together, so you need to attempt to join a game at the same time.

James: Hey, wanna play Team Fortress 2 together?
Me: Yeah sure, ill start lobby-hopping to an open game to invite you so we can be on the same team :3
