The Community search box doesn't find other communities
Hi, I noticed that the community search function doesn't work that well. Sometimes I can find communities I'm looking for, but other times I can't; even when I know they exist on other instances. Are these just part of the growing pains?
Try https://browse.feddit.de/ to find them and then you can build your own url like this: https://<your.instance>/c/<community_name>@<other.instance>. Kind of klunky, hope this gets ironed out.
After searching the first time, wait a few minutes and search again, it will probably show up. I had the same issue yesterday and apparently you need to do this the first time a remote community is accessed from a local instance.
I find you have to search twice. Paste ! [email protected], click search, wait, click inside the text input where you pasted then click search again. This will get any community.
I put in [email protected] and [email protected] and I can get it. The philippines I had to wait the clicct in the input then press search a few times for it to appear.
