The way I use reddit is usually for recommendations, reviews, technical problems, etc. One main way to do this is to search a subreddit or all of reddit to see if the answer is already there. Is there a way to have a similar search on Lemmy ? I can’t seem to get this to work. It only searches for communities and not posts within them.

    It’s not super obvious, but if you set the communities to All in the search function it should search everything your instance is federated with

      Oh that’s cool. I should have specified that I was trying to do this on Jerboa. I hope that apps will implement the search functionality as well.
