How do you search for communities? - Lemmy.World

I had posted this a few months and it’s still the same issue. If I search for a community using sync it only shows around 6-7. And that is also in the explore bar, it doesn’t do the search in the dedicated search page. Am I doing something wrong or is this still the case?

I’m not suite sure what you mean but you can always check this site to see if you’re missing some.

Well using a different app or site to just search for communities is a pain.

So if you search for memes, there’s only 7 results in the communities section. If you do that on the site you mentioned or in boost or something you’ll bet like a lot more communities.

I see what you mean:

I agree, this is a bigger problem than I initially thought. I’m already subscribed to so many that I overlooked it.

Yeah, I just hope this gets fixed.

Maybe when another major bug occurs.

That reminds me, out of curiosity, does [email protected] load fine for you?

Yeah it loads fine, why?
For a percentage of users it doesn’t and we don’t know why or if there’s other communities affected.
[BUG] cannot view a specific community in app - sh.itjust.works

Can anyone try going to [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] and let me know if it works? It won’t load for me and I tried on an account on that instance and still nothing. Edit: maybe it’s a fluke, or maybe it’s a Samsung thing somehow?

Oh that is strange
