lemmyverse.net - community search
Thanks
Already knew it and community names aren't straightforward sometimes, so I was looking for somewhere to ask people
On that note, I've found the built-in lemmy search function to be amazingly thorough, fast, and useful. You can search content from all communities, not just the ones on your instance, search comments, sort by date, what-have-you.
Sometimes it doesn't pick up some things, I believe it might also be related to the fact that the instance I'm on is recent, but it has previously allowed me to find some nice things so yeah, that's that
I mean, you don't have to be a local user to use the search functions on any of the more established instances. I can easilly see search being one of the more taxing functions for smaller servers.
True, that's what I often do
