I am wondering why I can’t find some communities when searching the app with the full !community@server. Searching for the same community on the web page works.

    Have you tried just searching their name?

    Can you give me an example and I will try on mine.

    I’m able to search although it is a bit finicky. I find I have to go to the dotted hamburger menu, then go to the search field then type in something, then delete what I typed. Finally once I’ve done all that all the communities show up and I can start searching using key words.

      I searched for keywords first but it gives no results. It’s usually for new communities. For example folkmetal@discuss.tchncs.de or frankzappa@lemmy.world. Some older communities aren’t there was well. Some of those listed on Browse Feddit cannot be found. When searching on the web version with the full community@server they show up but not when using app search
