    You’ve got it right, I agree is kind of weird, but it looks like it is by design (so far): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2825

    I’m waiting for some sort of “remote” search, I think that’d solve a lot of weird issues if we could get results from more than just the local instance.

      Also it incentivizes people to join really large old instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml rather than new smaller instances like yours. That isn’t right…

      Yea. I just don’t see how lemmy can possibly be a replacement to Reddit unless it pulls in historical comments/posts.

        I agree. In its current form, it’s somewhat more similar to something like twitter (or mastodon) vs reddit, at least for newer small instances. I doubt they’ll make it so everything gets federated everywhere by default since that’d be pretty bandwidth and disk intensive, but it’d make sense to at least be able to show those historical threads.

        https://www.search-lemmy.com is trying to index all lemmy instances. https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search/issues/20 is open to track opening those search results inside your home lemmy instance. Maybe lemmy-ui or one of the other frontends will end up integrating with it so that you can search for anything and have it pull the results into the instance you’re using?
