[Feature request] being able to search with exclamation mark (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I think an important functionality would be able to search with a prefixed exclamation mark to be able to specify an unfederated community, such as [email protected]

Im still learning the ropes here but I think that’s an important thing to be able to do from wefwef?

Is that what the exclamation mark means? I thought that’s just a community prefix. Also what does unfederated mean, not accessible from other instances?

Edit: seems to just be a prefix for communities, so I guess it means nothing other than making it clearer that it’s a Lemmy community?

Basically I made a community on lemmy.fmhy.ml and then searched for it on a different instance and it wasn’t coming up, and apparently you have to search !community@instance and subscribe and only then will the community be searchable/accessible from the other instance.

Maybe Lemmy was just having issues. I couldn’t find shortcuts on lemmy.world before and then it suddenly worked. Both times I was just searching for the name.
