A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Is there any way to search for posts by keyword? Either within a community or across all communities on an instance or across all federated instances?

I’ve been able to search posts but only from the desktop version. Not thru phone browser or mobile app… yet. 🤞

Memmy has search now and the app has been great for me so far. You can use iOS with Android coming really son

on mobile browser i was able to search posts by keyword by tapping the hamburger menu in the top right and then tapping on the magnifying glass, you can choose to search from subscribed, local, or all communities. there is a drop-down where you can select between searching posts, comments, users, etc. i found what i was looking for using it.
