Maybe it’s an instance thing, maybe it’s a Boost thing, but when I search for communities with the simple term “fitness” for example, I only get 5 results that have like, 30 members max.
I’m totally down with organically growing my community list over time just based on links and recommendations, but it is a bit annoying to not find communities when I’m pretty sure that they should exist.
Does anyone have tips on how to find things better?
It’s a config, which can be changed and the “total” amount could be displayed. The reason it is not enabled by default because of federation issues, which might cause the number to be wrong, I think. It could be that it was fixed and newer versions of Lemmy enable this by default though
