Hey all,

I was searching for whydrs on lemmy.world and it does not show up when I search with those keywords. If I just type drs it does, but shouldn’t it appear with whydrs as well?

      We were thinking of changing the URL, but it would have broken the federation and we would have had to start again from scratch. 🙁

      It’s not ideal I know, having such disparate names across social. We’re just a rag tag group of DRS advocates at the end of the day, doing what we can.

        No worries! By the way when I search for communities in All (instead of Local) it’s not listing all the communities from lemmy.world. Not even close to it. I also cant find communities from Kbin. Do you know why that might be? I had to make a lemmy.world account to use other communities because of that.

          Honestly I’m still learning the functionality of that myself.

          I have subscribed to a Lemmit community that reposts Superstonk content, and the GMECanada community on Lemmy.ca. But accessing content from those communities from this instance is still a bit tricky. It’s something I hope gets smoothed out in time as I’m not smart enough to address it myself 😅
