Search

EDIT : [email protected] has been created . The /c/ will also work as suicide watch. It was @[email protected] 's idea to change the /c/ to include lonely people more .

I have been wondering why lemmy has nothing that is active and modded (which is bad for a /c/ like that ) . But i don't wanna have any fall back from the law as i am quite brock atm so is there any such risk ? I am proposing this idea and will only carry on according to what majority thinks .

EDIT: Edited a bit which may have been misleading and because one user draw my attention it do reread if you have read the post before so you don't get any wrong idea.

Was it mods or self deleted?

I know I am probably violating all the rules at once, but I didn't really know where to post this.

I added a search option to a community's sidebar - this will be helpful to find past answers but also to check and see if someone has already asked that question recently.

For example, here are the latest posts on password managers: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=password&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=8&page=1&sort=TopAll

I've set it to search through Lemmy.ml - this has the pro that it will be able to find all content because it's a local community. It has the con that most people won't be able to interact directly with the content as they are not subscribed via their own instance.

I was hoping to use a relative search URL and search through the user's instance. This won't work as each instance numbers the communities differently: the communityId on Lemmy.ml is different than on my own instance.

Is this helpful for anyone? Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it further?

Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in [email protected] or [email protected]

I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.
