I believe that from any given instance, I should be able to search other instances without having to rely on a third-party tool. That is the core of my complaint. However, I do understand that all forums on all instances may not be what I am looking for to search. I think each instance should have the option of making public or selecting which of their chats should be searchable by other instances (defaulting to all). Then, from any given instance, I can do a search of other instances and get a list of what I might be interested in subscribing to without having to view all the chats that are likely only relevant to a particular instance. Something along those lines.
