I'm using this to help populate my own instance and I'm having to trigger a search for communities I haven't pulled down before. But when I click 'trigger a search', the search bar is populating wrong. This is what I see:

instance_assistant!instance_assistant@lemmy.ca

If I edit the first instance of the name out, the search works fine, but this seems like a bug.

Yes this is something that I've now fixed in the new update, sorry about that!

New update should be shipping out sometime this week

Sounds good. Thank you for the tool. I do hope that this part of the tool is not necessary in short order. What I mean by that is that I hope that Lemmy incorporates this behavior as part of the native architecture of the site.

I think that this specific item is a huge roadblock to the growth of the site and that they put out a fix for it.

Once I subscribe to at least one community on an instance, i get the 'alternative subscribe method' button which does work properly.
