If I use the search option, what happens? Do the results of the search differ depending on which instance I am, which communities I join, and which app I run to view Lemmy? Are only community names searched, or also posts, comments or usernames?
I’m using Jerboa for Android and my instance is feddit.nl btw.
From what I understand, it’s all based off of ActivityPub, so instances should all be able to communicate with one another unless your instance explicitly blocks another. It just needs the initial search to another instance’s community to recognize its existence and some time to sync. Lately, things need a bit more time since everything is growing exponentially.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong so I can learn as well.
