Hi, I noticed that the community search function doesn't work that well. Sometimes I can find communities I'm looking for, but other times I can't; even when I know they exist on other instances. Are these just part of the growing pains?

I find you have to search twice. Paste ! community@domain.url, click search, wait, click inside the text input where you pasted then click search again. This will get any community.

Still two I can't seem to find using our search. Maybe you can help/try? -https://lemmy.ca/c/philippines@lemmy.world -https://lemmy.ca/c/audiobooks@lemmy.ml

I put in !audiobooks@lemmy.ml and !philippines@lemmy.world and I can get it. The philippines I had to wait the clicct in the input then press search a few times for it to appear.
