If you see rule #3 of this community, it mentions that support question should be posted at /c/lemmy_[email protected].
Search depends on what you would like to find: from the web ui, you have to select the type (comments, users, posts), then choose the scope (all, local, subscribed), then choose the sort type (top all time, controversial, new, old, etc).
The rest of the forms (like community, creator) are self-explanatory - community drop-down won't work if you're searching for a community, likewise creator drop-down won't work if you're searching for a user.
To ping and mention a user, @@. (e.g.- @[email protected] ) should work. To just mention them, /u/@. (e.g.- /u/[email protected]) should do. To point a specific community, /c/ (e.g.- /c/ask_[email protected]) should work.
Goddamnit, me and my understanding of English sometimes. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ And I was wondering what was the support rule about and of course, my stupid brain translated it like a psychological support or similar. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
Sorry, this was a brain fart, wasn't intentional breaking the rule.
Now that you were kind to answer ๐ , no, I meant on search inside some sub. I wanted to search inside this sub how are users of Lemmy called. Or for example, if I go to news and I want to search posts about specific news.
