I see, thanks. Yeah, that stinks. I'll say one of my favorite ways to use reddit has been to search for threads related to an interest of mine and join the discussion, whether or not I'm subscribed to the subreddit. It seems like that's not possible on Lemmy.
Well it's not... like... consistently possible. There happens to be a bonkers amount of new community creation happening this very minute. In the steady state, you'd kind of hope to see that on a well-trafficked instance like
sh.itjust.works
that most subs have been subscribed for a while and so this all works pretty much as expected.But a massive wave of new community creation where you're frequently on the leading edge disconcerting new communities and being the first to subscribe to them... yeah... that's the worst case scenario for this situation. It think it will improve with time, but it does suck mightily right this minute.
