Any1 know how to search a group for specific posts like reddit? On jerboa for android. Tx
I've been using site:lemmy.ml "search term(s) here'" (remove quotes unless you want an exact match for the search terms) to find what I'm looking for on each federation instance. I feel like I'm missing something here.
I was wondering about this too. Would each instance have all posts from all federated communities indexed for search?
No, it indexes posts from other instances only when you are looking for them. Also, i'm not sure, but as far as i remember, it indexes only last 20 posts + every post referenced in already indexed posts on the first lookup(then - everything). I'm not sure about it, don't quote me.
A server will only pull in everything from a community once at least 1 person on that server subscribes. Then it will start pulling in every new post and comment as soon as they're up.
Oh, so it'll pull everything. OK, then looks like i've made it the fuck up.
Good question. I just found the built in search bar icon between the heart and bell. I wonder how posts and comments can be searched on different federated sites for a single user.
