Let’s say I’m logged in lemmy.zip. I discovered there is a programming themed instance at programming.dev and would like to check out what communities are available there. I can’t do it via search; it matches the search term with community name or description but not the instance name. I can go to programming.dev on a web browser and look at its list of local communities; but then I’ll have to search for each community I’m interested in in the app to subscribe with my lemmy.zip account.
Is this doable in the app?
I get what you mean, it does seem to be quite technically challenging, and perhaps not a frequent enough use case for devs to spend time solving for the moment, even though it would be something “nice to have”. Guess we’ll have to keep doing it the roundabout way.
Thanks for all who replied.
