Is anyone else facing issues finding and subscribing to communities? For instance, I am unable to find !fitness@lemmy.world in the search. Only Vegan Fitness shows up when i search for “fitness”.

Edit: I am able to find fitness@lemmy.world now. I am still not sure what makes communities not turn up on my search.

    If I understand what you are saying. What you are suggesting would entail users to create an unmanageable number of accounts to access the fediverse. I feel that goes against the essence of fediverse because at that point you might as well be signing up to different communities/forums and not be a part of a decentralised network.

      Well, I guess there is a compromise to be found between aggregating content from different instances, and consuming a tremendous amount of resources on the server to do so.

      As an example, it seems reasonable to me for someone to aggregate content from other security/IT instances here, but not let’s say gardening or language learning.

      And about the number of accounts, I have one for infosec, and a few others, each for every interest I have
