The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

    I agree, the copy->search user experience for exploring the fediverse is pretty terrible. For Lemmy at least, maybe any community ! links should automatically try to resolve on your instance? I also wouldn’t mind an extra little popup on hover, letting you choose to follow the link through to the original instance or have it search/open on your home.

      Which is actually funny when you think about it because that would be integral to utilizing the benefits of the Fediverse.

      It will get figured out in time.
