It’s excruciatingly obnoxious to have to rely on third party sources for what should be a first-party feature.

Like, I select all and then search a query. “Oh no, nobody on your server used a third party service to find it, so you won’t see it here.”

Like, how short-sighted is that, really? If I search for a string in the ‘all’ servers, I should have a list of ‘all’ the servers containing that string.

It’s a really simple concept. Not sure why this post even has to be made, but I’m wondering if there’s something I can do to make these ‘features’ more intuitive.

    Do you want to fix this issue? Create a public page using GitHub, rentry.co or whatever, agregate the information we discussed in that thread, and sens that to instances admins so that they add it to their sidebars.

    That would be a way to actually solve the issue instead of complaining about it without doing anything else.

    The alternative is to propose a pull request on the Lemmy GitHub to change the name from All to Known network, but I know that the entry barrier to GitHub pull requests is usually higher.
