We’re currently running the latest release candidate of Lemmy 18.2
. It has many fixes; however, there are still some remaining issues.
One example is that some buttons do not appear correctly on the dark themes. I will keep my custom dark theme as the default theme for now. I think it just looks better, even with broken upload buttons. I will attempt to apply a fix to it later today.
If you see any other issues, please, let me know so I can forward them to the core development team-- if you don’t wish to do so yourself.
Thanks a lot! -jgrim
Currently, Lemmy search does not make discovery. You have to know already what you want to join to be able to find it.
This will eventually change; however, you must use a tool like https://browse.feddit.de/ to discover communities.
Then if you wish to federate them start syncing with discuss.online you search for them to import them.
For example, if I found Meme’s on lemmy.ml I would search for “!memes@lemmy.ml” or “https://lemmy.ml/c/memes”. That would then fetch the community locally.
If you use the discovery tool, a little icon copies the full path to your clipboard for easy searching once clicked.
This isn’t ideal for discovery and is certainly a known issue for user experience. It’s on the map to resolve.
I hope that makes sense. If not, let me know.
Thanks for the explaination. I’ll give that a try. So once one person on the instance causes a sync will it apply to everyone else on the instance? e.g. Become searchable?
I like using https://lemmyverse.net/communities for discovery
