  • No, the original answer is incomplete. Search results are only the communities a given instance has loaded/ cached in the past.

    To load a new community you must directly open it by typing this into your Url bar yourinstance.com/c/newcommunity@theotherinstance

    It will load the community and then it will show in search results, unless it's defederated

  • searching for communities that exist but haven't been cached
  • Nah I'm not saying to force my one instance to cache all communities

    I'm saying a feature on the app that lets me search all communities in a site that already indexes them, like lemmyverse

    And then once I've found thr community ive searched for, a feature to load just that one community from my instance to add it to my subs or peruse, not every community.

  • searching for communities that exist but haven't been cached

    My biggest gripe with *lemmy is the community search only brings up communities that have already been cached by the instance you're on

    At first I would search for communities and be shocked that there's so many that don't exist until I realized I have to manually go on my browser and type myserverurl/c/communityIFoundSomewhereElse@ItsInstance if im the first one from my instance to want to sub to that community

    Is there a site that can search all communities that this app can communicate to, then force my instance to cache from a search result?

    Would make this app really stand out
