A lot of upvotes here, and I think they’re ignoring how much is involved in production pipelines and the overhead of sourcing suppliers. That said, Musk has a habit of throwing in last minute changes and the company manages to handle those but much like self driving they ship late

Oh that is a nice app!!

Yep, solves all my needs, I’ll delete the other apps.

Thank you

Yeah, that’s where I started. But after setting up then I occasionally wondered if certain communities were around and couldn’t search how I want when I happened to be on an app.

It turns out that Mlem had all the features that I wanted.

Exactly what I was after and one of my initial guesses in the post. Thanks.

It’s a shame, it would be useful

Actually, maybe not. For #3 I’m trying to search for keywords (that are commonly in the community name) on a given server that I’m not registered to. It would also be nice to search keywords in the text of a post that are in any post on a given server, that is not the one I’m registered to.

ie. keyword = “scuba”, server = ${known australia server}, match is one of community names or posts.

Edit note: Wow I have an issue with saying instance when I mean server and channel when I mean community

I’m a bit confused. I think you’re suggesting I add any community I want to find to that tool so it’s searchable. Isn’t that a chicken or the egg problem? If I have already found and subscribed to the channel, I don’t have a reason to be searching for it. It could help other users, but like I say in my other comment, I don’t think this is a sync issue, it seems to be an issue with the client / server implementation of the string matching.

Or I’m misunderstanding and then I’m sorry.

I think I get what you’re saying now and I don’t think it’s a syncing issue, I think it’s a string matching issue. I think I’ve explained why in another comment (in the list as #2), linked here so it’s faster to find:

Thanks for taking the time. I updated my question a little to clarify and finished just before you posted.

I mostly just want a way to find communities on other instances and I don’t think this reply helps unblock in-app solutions to that, but I did learn a lot so thanks. For example, if I learn of an australian server and want to see if there are any channels that would be worth scrolling / subscribing for an upcoming trip. I could search a bunch of terms and still not find an obvious community that I would find by loading the servers website and navigating to the community list and it would be nice to be able to do this inside the app, or have a clickable target that loads the server.

What page I’m on. I’ve tried a few things that basically open you to the start again. Especially with PDFs (so opening research papers on the iPhone. Thats not really self hosting but part of the system that needs to work together).

I’ll update the post so people get this in first pass. Thanks!

That write up does seem to ignore the doubling down here:

Calling out that JD Vance was the only one to answer is pretty troubling to me after reading about some of his new-right ties. It’s way, way too close for my liking to a mouse telling everyone that will listen that the cat was amazing for inviting him and all his friends to his house in a week. ie. Playing into what just seems like an obvious strategy.

That said, I’m pretty ignorant about the CEO. I just remembered this lemmy comment and I didn’t notice it included in the write up that was being linked.

When did Ukrainian come into it? I went back to the article but half of it was behind a paywall
