I need some help to figure out how I can search for new communities that are not yet cached on my instance.

If just search by !somecommunity@someinstance or the url, it just comes up empty everytime.

The only app I managed to get this working smoothly from the ones I tried is Voyager.

    In theory, you can use the ‘Go to community’ option from the more options menu and enter the community qualified name without the ‘!’ character.

    In the future, I want to add an ‘explore communities’ option that would search for communities on sites like https://lemmyverse.net

      That’s the exact option I was searching for!

      Thank you so much.

      Do you think in the future it could have a character parser to also accept with the “!” character? That would make it a lot easier because it would just be copy-paste from places like lemmyverse.

      Keep up the good work!

        Yeah, It has been on my todo list for a while now. I think it should be in the next patch
