If I use the search option, what happens? Do the results of the search differ depending on which instance I am, which communities I join, and which app I run to view Lemmy? Are only community names searched, or also posts, comments or usernames?
I’m using Jerboa for Android and my instance is feddit.nl btw.
You can search by:
You can also filter by specific communities, creators, or by keyword(s).
If you want to add a community from another instance that you can’t find in search, you can either enter:
You can search for more communities at browse.feddit.de. Also, it’s easier to just do this from a browser rather than the apps available.
As for apps- Jerboa for Android and Mlem for iOS.
folks talked about “you should be able to search by !communityname@instance.name” not working, even if the community /is/ already federated and sharing content (think !technology@beehaw.org) - so there’s definitely growing pains.
Definitely. I tried adding some communities from programming.dev and managed to find and sub to one by pasting the entire URL and searching for it a few times. When I tried another community, no dice.
