Comment on Discoverability of communities across instances
AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world 2 months agoYeah, it is certainly better than nothing, that is absolutely fair, and probably makes a lot of sense to use for people who can.
Sadly i can’t, because “my” community is on .world. I used a similar “relay” type thing some time ago, but not sure how well it worked.

Yeah, i also don’t think it’s pointless.
Those instances opting out (if they did) probably has a good reason.
I just think it would be good to point users to some kind of crawler that knows all the communities. Searching communities under “all” from within lemmy is almost misleading. I feel like it mainly also affects smaller instances and communities.

I just saw that at least lemmy.world and lemm.ee actually do actually point users to a crawler from their “Getting started / Lemmy guide” which is cool, but also quite easy to miss. Anyway, good job .world and lemm.ee!
