Why YSK: So it’s easier to find communities here. For example I was able to find monster hunter community. Even if you have a different server you can still join. If you check the right side of the screen and follow the instructions so that you can subscribe to that community.
Here’s another good one: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
I like this one better because you can filter communities based on subscriber count, active users, posts, etc.
That’s a good one, I was wishing the lemmy.world search had that function when I was going through it
That one’s inconsistent; some comms don’t show up for seemingly no reason
Use lemmyverse.net instead.
No idea how the other one became the de facto recommended one
If I am on Lemmy world and click on communities and hit all and then search is it not the same thing as that site?
I believe it is. There isn’t anything I haven’t been able to find through the lemmy.world community search
You are incorrect.
There are some communities that are not available here because it’s not yet existed or it’s on other servers. Like for example monster hunter has existed in lemmy.ml but lemmy.world not. The lemmy.ml manga is different from lemmy.world manga https://lemmy.world/c/manga https://lemmy.ml/c/manga
Yeah I understand that. What I am saying is the Lemmy world all search works just like that website
(ノ_<) face palm*
I feel so embarrass for not knowing this. I set it to local no wonder I can’t find other communities. I should have set it to all. Mistake of a new lemmy user. (>_<)
I think this will only show communities from other instances if they have already been federated from there. So if no one on your instance has subscribed to a specific community, you won’t find it in this search.
aa
This is very useful and should be built into every instance.
Works on mobile too
This was super helpful, thank you for sharing!
