Example: I tried to follow the support text on the right for this instance, that says “enter !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml in the search field of your instance”. Now when I enter this, I get everything, except a direct link towards the exact remote lemmy instance of this search entry, as can be seen from my screenshot.
Can this be changed, so when something follows the !.. syntax, it’ll directly show a result for the instance and sub ? Additionally it would be nice to just have the expression embedded in a one-click copy mode.

I’ve had this multiple times and haven’t been able to find a workaround. Hopefully it’s something resolved soon or someone can find a workaround for it, it really affects the use of federated instances
- After you run the search you can switch from “All” to “Communities” (in whatever language you’re using) in the top-left dropdown, which will make the search only show communities.
- If your instance does not know about the remote community the community will not show up until your instance has grabbed some basic information and posts from the remote instance. If the remote instance is slow this can take a long time, or may just not work (e.g if the instance is just down, even for just the moment at which you run the search). Refreshing the page sometimes helps.
