Gentlemen, it will be a pleasure to be part of this with you
YARR, MATEYS
Just a heads up, since I was having some trouble at first:
1 - Go to communities > search 2 - If you search for a given community and it doesn’t shows up, it looks like it is not indexed yet 3 - Search for the community in this format !community@instance (Like !foss@beehaw.org) 4 - After that, I had to go back to step 1 and simply searching for ‘foss’ returned what I wanted. But looks like the page needed to be updated.
Also, this tool might interest you guys. It is a universal community search in Lemmy instances:
Coming from Joey for Reddit. They pulled a survey today for its users asking 2 questions: if we’d be willing to pay and how much and for some suggestion for the future of the app.
I said no and suggested them to think about developing an app for Lemmy.
Joey is great. Looks like it lacks tools for modding, but I couldn’t care less. It has everything else, is beautiful and customizable.
Such a shame to see it sinking because of Reddit’s bullshit.
I really hope we go forward with this migration.
- Searching communities is still hard.
2 )There’s a featured/pinned post that appears to me on my account home on lemmy.one, but I just can’t see on this account. I went to the community, I searched It top-down and nope, it just doesn’t exist for this account, I don’t know why
The link also can’t be shared, as if I copy its permalink, I got to the lemmy.one instance.
This is one of the biggest improvements it should see, but I don’t know if it’s possible at all.
- Also, the Jerboa app is not very good, but it works(Lemmur doesn’t even work). But it is secondary to me, as I think if Lemmy grows, we’ll see improvements gradually in this regard.
I have had no luck on the app so far. The search is worse. But you can still use your browser on your phone, login to your instance and do what I’ll tell you.
Take a look at this:

and this:
Basically, you gotta search for your community in the format !community@instance (for example, !football@lemmy.ml)
Once you search it this way, erase the search and search again only for the name ‘community’. It will come up. Maybe give it 10s between the first search and the second one.
This happens because it needs to be indexed by the instance first. At least one person in a given instance must have at least searched for it already in order for it to come up. After that, everyone is able to simply search for ‘community’.
If you say that is hard and overcomplicates things, I’ll agree with you. I think it could be better, but I don’t know if it’s possible.
