I search for ‘history’ and zero results. I know for a fact there are history communities on other instances, why can’t I find them using the search feature?

Presumably this is something lemmy is gonna want to address at some point as that’s way too much work for the average user
It’s just growing pains for any new instance, once seen it’s there forever.
As more and more sublemmys are cached, the issue will go away on its own I think.
Automated caching should be developed though yes
Ok I just went to browse.feddit.de and typed in ‘wrestling’, copied the url https://sopuli.xyz/c/wrestling and pasted it in this instances search but got nowt
I’m trying this myself too, will let you know I’m if successful, taking a lot longer than I expected but it’s not come up with no results found yet
It’s there now, if you just re-search ALL communities for “wrestling” you can see it now
How long did you wait? After putting it in the search bar? The UI defo needs some more feedback for things like this. Takes a few seconds to a minute when I did.
