You can search for communities with https://browse.feddit.de/ .

For Rimworld I found: https://lemmy.world/c/rimworld

Knowledge and understanding. Feels good, man.

Obligatory Xkcd.

Yes.

I even saw scripts which mass subscribe to popular communities to populate new instances.

Your local instance search will return communities from other instances if somebody on your instance already subscribes to them.

As others already pointed out, search for the whole URL otherwise.

It's how Lemmy works: Your instance can only search what it knows.

It didn’t use to be like that.

Maybe I misunderstand something here, but this was always the case.

Searching is local instance only by design. Use this to search over multiple instances.

PaperlessNgx makes scanned documents searchable. Its great!

For those who don't know: Eternity (for Lemmy) is a fork of Infinity (for Reddit).

Don't hate me bro :)

Cyperchef might not exactly what you are looking for, but it is selfhosted and has some conversion functions.

Hängeregister.

And I think that's beautiful.
