MODERATORS
I'm still waiting for the tech communities to migrate here. I mean - tech unrelated to web and this platform. There are lots of very busy people who just don't follow everything that is happening around. I've seen a post on Reddit that just linked here, and since I really, really do hate Reddit owners, I created an account here to see if it can replace Reddit with my work included.
I'm glad there's some traffic here. But well, I haven't even found a way to search for a specific community. That makes more serious use a little tricky. I hope the features will appear here soon.
I tried the tildes, but same thing. It's like "general purpose", it's hard or impossible to find a specific community.
And that's exactly the things Reddit killed - specific community forums. And well, most of what's left of them remains still on Evil Corp.
From what I understand, you kinda just search for stuff in the description. For example, if I search for cs@kbin.social, I won't find it, I have to search "counter strike" and then it pops up.
I head that they are working on fixing the search functionally but in the mean time there is this git hub https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search that your server admin can add to their lemmy instance
I was thinking about this last night. Reddit is set up by community. If I feel like only going to my game community for a question or to just read people's posts and tips, I can. Here, everything you've subscribed to scrolls past in order of post date. Perhaps an app can at least display by a hashtag or a set of tags for your topic
We need to make this a community people want to come to. If we can foster a kind and helpful and entertaining and informative community, more people will come and we will grow. We got this!
