A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I only see one search on my mobile view. Where is the general search bar located?
What I called the general search is the magnifying glass icon at the top of the page on mobile. To get to the magazine search you have to tap the general search then tap magazines on the next page.
I have the hamburger menu, which has a magnifying glass. There is no magazine option for me, and the general search seems to not find communities others haven't subscribed to yet :/ I know v0.17 has some issues, some of which only affect some users, maybe I'm some users. Or maybe I'm missing something.
Hmmm, it looks like you joined a different instance, "@infosec.pub" while I'm on "@kbin.social". I'm not sure how that is affecting things since I'm still trying to figure this out myself. You might need to ask for details on a local @infosec.pub community. I did find out that for this to work you have to get the syntax for the community you want to join exactly right in your search. For example, if you were searching for technology at beehaw you would have to search "technology@beehaw.org" without any leading @ or !.
Ah that makes sense. I did try !..., @..., full URL, and just the name. Oh, well. It's possible that that particular community chose not to federate, maybe? I'm not sure if it can be on the community level or only on the instance level. Either way, thank you so much for your help! Seriously appreciate it!
