sadly... yes. I'm just not finding the community here that I built up there over 11 years. I know, I know, give this 11 years and we'll get there, too... but it's still over there.
I did the whole "delete all comments and posts and replace with the API reasoning text" thing, for my main and my few alts. BUt I find I still am heading over there on browser through old.reddit and lurking.
if it is a link in your feed, hopefully the app handles this. the web browser interface for sh.itjust.works handles the URL properly to let you see the thread while remaining here, and comment like a damn fool!
well, if you want to feed the current drama and reach those folks, you can always follow these instructions to delete your existing comments and posts, and replace them with a description on how to do the same:
I'm jealous! I haven't been able to but, now with more knowledge, I'll give it another go
If it works for you, keep doing it!
It would be awesome to just search "pancakes" in jerboa, and see the pancake communities in all the instances. Or even if I know pancakes@lemmy.world exists, to go search it outright from jerboa.
It would be nice if this was configurable. Or maybe someone enterprising can write a script to do some searching now, while our usage is low, and the number of external communities is also low.
I know as things start to get really high usage, and the number of Lemmy instances grows, and communities per instance grow, that it might be untenable. But at least for this early onboarding process where we expect a lot of new users, it would be cool to give them a soft landing experience
Edit: (for those reading along) it works fine! I am not finding a few communities that are listed on feddit.de, but it might be that those are new (less than 2 hours). Later they were located fine.
