That is... competely unintuitive ๐คจ... like why not just have a spyglass icon there, why the hamburger thing ๐คจ... maybe it's a bug ๐คท.
Yeah, it searches only by community name, not by topic, but hey, reddit works the same way (almost) and I didn't really mind that.
What bugs me is the URL handling, it keeps redirecting me to a browser, then I have to copy the instance-community link and copy it back here for the search ๐.
I find that I'm actually getting better search results using just the community have without the rest of the URL.
In Jerboa?
No, sorry, in the web browser.
Agreed hahaha.
The search redirects me within the app, but links for communities in comments seem to open in the browser. Seems that that are still some bugs here and there in the app.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
