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?

    Search is garbage but it does work. If I search for another community that Feddit doesn’t have yet it first returns “No results”, then that goes away, then nothing happens, so I go to feddit.uk/c/<community>@<instance> and it’s there. Search should just show what it’s fetched.

      This is more or less still an alpha product for now. We are all part of a large experiment.

      Being FOSS technology though it’s understandable. Bitcoin is FOSS and look at how that’s developed over the years.
