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
!buyitforlife@slrpnk.net maybe?
Outside of the community search, there's not a good place to ask about a community other than maybe !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
If electronic in any way, the item must be open source
That sub should be ruled out then
Thanks for asklemmy, will check, though it doesn't seem to fit
Hi, mod of Buyitforlife here!
The rule you quoted only applies to people self promoting their own products to sell there, they do not apply for recommending something or asking for suggestions for something. Feel free to make a post there about earbuds!
