Hi folks! First of all, huge appreciation for this insane lemmy client. I‘ve been using it for two years roughly and I‘m over the moon about it.
I want this app to be even more wonderful so I wanted to share my idea for a more integrated search:
Currently, when you‘re on a small instance like mine, you dont see every community on every server you are connected to due to the way AP works.
For that reason, I would love to see all communities and be able to subscribe to them by using lemmyverse.net as a search option.
Steps to reproduce
- make new instance
- add user
- connect with voyager
- type anything in the search bar
- find nothing
Btw I know we already have the „discover“ option but it works different from what I‘m suggesting and is less intuitive and more cluttered than my approach imo.
Suggested behavior
- You hit search and get „lemmyverse.net“ as a search option
- click it
- see all communities with the content you searched for
- hit subscribe
- get content
I hope this makes sense to you as I think this will boost the discoverability of lemmy by a huge margin! This would also probably be a unique feature, setting voyager even more apart from other clients (and of course be a great role model for them to follow).
Thanks for reading and have a good one.
