searching for communities.
searching for communities.
Apologies for yet more dumb questions. Not sure if it’s a Thunder thing or a Lemmy thing.
When I go to search for new communities, I only get the option now to search within the instance I signed up on (Aussie.zone) instead of everywhere. Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?
Give the full URL to the community such as https://instance.tld/c/communityname
Mmmm ok but what if I don’t know what communities exist? Seems like a few weeks ago I went searching with just ‘A’ and saw what communities turned up starting with ‘a’. Etc.
Now that is only possible in ‘my’ instance.
Ah. I see. I personally use https://browse.feddit.de/ for this.
In addition to the full URL, you can search for a specific community using the community formatted version! (e.g., !announcements@lemmy.ml)
Searching is local instance only by design. Use this to search over multiple instances.
Thank you. Do you mean by design of Thunder or the instance I’m on?
Either way… why?!?! And why the change? It didn’t use to be like that.
If it’s Thunder, then I’m bailing and getting a new app.
