My biggest gripe with *lemmy is the community search only brings up communities that have already been cached by the instance you’re on

At first I would search for communities and be shocked that there’s so many that don’t exist until I realized I have to manually go on my browser and type myserverurl/c/communityIFoundSomewhereElse@ItsInstance if im the first one from my instance to want to sub to that community

Is there a site that can search all communities that this app can communicate to, then force my instance to cache from a search result?

Would make this app really stand out

    ah sorry my bad, misunderstood your post. I agree then, sounds like a useful feature.

    Be sure to check out the github issues for jerboa there might already be someone asking for this.

    If not, you should think about creating one. It will have a better chance of devs responding than here.
