If your post meets the following criteria, it's welcome here!

  1. Open-ended question

  3. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
  4. Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
  5. An actual topic of discussion

I'm using liftoff and for the life of me can't figure out how to search when I'm in a group /community. Can someone help me please - is it possible at all to search?

I'm brand new here so apologies if this is wrong. I'm using Liftoff & was able to search for & find your post like this:

  • From any post tap โ‹ฎ menu (top right in Liftoff).
  • Select Open in browser (I have Liftoff set to use its in app browser)
  • โ‰ก menu (top right in Liftoff)
  • Tap search
  • Select Search = Posts, Instances =All, Sort type = New
  • You can leave community as the default All or
    • Tap community & type ask
    • Wait for the instances to populate, then select lemmy.ml/asklemmy
    • ignore that it then reverts the instance back to All
  • Creator = All
  • Search = type search query here. I used the term "search commumity" then tap Search
  • Your post showed up as the top result

Edit: An easier way to do it

  • Tap search icon at the bottom of Liftoff
  • For me the instance shows as lemmy.world & there's no option to change this
  • Type your search query in the search bar eg "search community"
  • Your post shows near the top in results
