Didn't think about it before, but saw this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/26747873

Lemmy tends to have duplicate communities between different instances for many subjects, and this can make it hard to find information here. For instance, if i want to know if anyone has made a constructed language for birds, i have to go to the communities list and search for “conlang” and “constructed language”, open every relevant community i find, and search each of those.

The Lemmy search feature quite good, but having all the knowledge about one topic on one community makes it even better

There is a GitHub issue, but no planned deadline: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Don't ask me, I'm not in charge.

It seems a bit disingenuous that that decided to omit that comment in your write-up though.

No worries, I just wanted to check if I was missing something.

Not sure if it's disingenuous to omit a comment saying it will be fixed "some day" while people are experiencing those issues now. I still added this at the end for complete context.
