My biggest gripe with *lemmy is the community search only brings up communities that have already been cached by the instance you’re on
At first I would search for communities and be shocked that there’s so many that don’t exist until I realized I have to manually go on my browser and type myserverurl/c/communityIFoundSomewhereElse@ItsInstance if im the first one from my instance to want to sub to that community
Is there a site that can search all communities that this app can communicate to, then force my instance to cache from a search result?
Would make this app really stand out
It’s not app specific - that’s just how the Lemmy code works at the moment.
For this specific reason, Lemmy integrated search feature is fundamentally broken at the moment, so you should be using https://lemmyverse.net/
When I first joined my instance I couldn’t see any Xbox communities so I created one. It got a little following, but then I found out there were already two communities literally called Xbox but no one from my instance joined before, so I couldn’t see them.
