Interesting, there is still a wefwef community so I would have thought that was the first search result, but he said that he “closed” it when he rebranded, and I don’t know how Lemmy handles that.
So I guess a mod can lock and “archive” a community so it doesn’t appear in searches, but those that was already subscribed can see it?
But this link that goes to the post in that community still works.
What do you mean, go and find them? You get notified with a badge in the settings icon. Click it, and it takes you to there is an update. That page tells your current version and immediately below that is the release notes button. You're acting like it's buried or you have to Google it. It's literally in the same menu as the install update menu.
