I’m just floating an idea that someone inspired in a comment section elsewhere, it sounds like an improvement to me but maybe people don’t like this idea, tell me what you think.

    Wait, it doesn’t do that already? All this time I’ve been searching for communities assuming the search also looks into the description.

    I think that would be great. However, the issue for me isn’t so much finding it as it being really annoying to actually subscribe.

    That would absolutely help, finding communities is still very fiddly.

    In my opinion, it would be best to search in the following order:

    • Title of the community
    • Description of the community
    • Topics within the community with the keywords

    An example would be the following listing for the keyword “film”

    Result for “film” type
    filmmakers community
    analog film community
    film shooters community
    film recommendations? community
    movie recommendations description
    shoot analog description
    TV description
    TIL comments
    Arts comments
    something about how you spend your day comments

    Yes, I think that would help. Ideally there would be a check box option to enable or disable that feature.
