Community search?

3 years ago by mattclassic to c/mlemapp

Is there a way to search for new communities in mlem or am I dumb and just missing it?

Mlem has a community search function. It is very hidden. In the feed view Tap the top center of the app and there should be able to search.

I really like the implementation, it is not intuitively found, but as soon as one knows it comes very naturally.

You weren’t kidding when you said it’s “very hidden”. It didn’t even occur to me that the greyed out “Community…” text was a search box. No borders, and the text formatting does not attract attention at all.

I think even a slightly contrasting background would / magnifying glass glyph would better indicate you can search there.

Yeah, I struggled with finding this too. Seems a bit too hidden

Touch the subscribed/commubity name at the top. It will open a search menu

it's a bit convoluted, adding a dedicated search icon at the bottom might be a good idea
