How do you search for and go to a community directly? - eviltoast

I can’t seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff.

The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there.

However I’m not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn’t to helpful right now.

    There’s a bug right now that search doesn’t work if you haven’t selected an instance you’re logged into. I don’t have a lemmy.world account, so the default selection would never search.

    Once I selected my home instance to do the search tho, you’ll see whatever communities come back under the relevant tab.

      I have accounts on each of the instances that I browse.

      The problem with search is that it seems to just return posts and communities from everything federated with the instance you are searching on.

      So if I search for a specific community name I’m going to get tons of posts from tons of other communities mixed in, and I can’t for the life of me find the community I’m trying to go to.
