I am still new to Lemmy and don’t understand some things.
One is: Why do I have to subscribe to a whole channel if I want to only write about one specific thing?
It just doesn’t make sense to me, because it will just pollute my timeline with stuff I really want to see. If I have an opinion on one thing, but will see everything about this topic in my timeline, the timeline will be useless after a few days.
Thanks for your help.

That’s odd, I’ve experimented with that function and only got communities I’m subscribed to as search results.

No, I’m sure they were federated to my home instance. I think I’ve even seen this with communities created locally by other users (they were newly created though).
This is the most un-intuitive way to post something anywhere on the internet ever. Who came up with this idea and why? Because I think the developer might have a reason or it is just a bug.
Wouldn’t it be better to show the “create post” button right beside the “subscribe” button in a group (without being subscribed to the group)?
