How can I subscribe to new communities with raccoon? I tried the explore feature with the filter set to all, but no communities are found.
I tried multiple times to give my server the chance to fetch the remote community. I searched using the full address with a leading !: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

The "Explore" section with "All" filter is the right place, you can use the "Community" tab to narrow down results. However, all this screen does under the hood is a GET /search with the q parameter (for the query) and this is far from optimal, moreover it does not work passing a community handle. I'll look into it for this week's release, thanks for the hint...

I discovered, by tracking the calls made by the web UI, that there is another call they make (and then results are combined), the GET resolve_object. It's an easy fix, definitely I'll do it!

Awesome, looking forward to it and thanks a lot for creating this app :)

Tangentially related to this:

Now we have under Search All, Comments, Posts, Community. Can we also have Instance as the last option?

There also is the "Users" option. They correspond to the available search types in the Lemmy APIs which are: All, Comments, Posts, Communities, Users and Urls. The last one was added at a later stage and I have no idea what it does...

In any case it would be theoretically possible to filter posts on another instance, I'll have to experiment a little bit... basically I would present the same Explore screen but you access local posts on the other instance in guest mode.
