Is it worthwhile to try to get mods to combine them? It just seems like a bit of a waste when trying to grow a community and its split in two.

Or is this what the fediverse is supposed to look like?

I read before somebody said that we might be able to combine similar communities at some point but don’t know if that’s true.

    The search function should function the same way as the search function on the official web interface. That means however, unless you’re searching the url of a specific community, it can only search for communities, comments and posts on instances it has cached. If it hasn’t had a member visit a community at least once, it won’t know it exists.

    I recommend browse.feddit.de to search for communities, and for newly created communities, you can search through the posts in [email protected]

    There are many other places to look, you can find multiple lists of communities that migrated from Reddit with a quick google search.

      Just saw that some apps do have a search function already. I’ve been using Jerboa and it doesn’t have one yet (for posts/comments that is).

      Thanks
