For the other dumdums like me who didn’t discover this immediately.
I guess it needs a sort of “onboarding” the first time you open the app.
It might be more intutitive if:
- changing the text in the field to “Search…” or “Tap to Search”
- perhaps using the magnifier icon
- or outlining the field so that you can see that it’s an input box.
This is how it worked in Apollo too.
Oh my…I feel stupid. Was constantly switching between the app and the browser when I wanted to look for something specific and to subscribe!
Same here 😅
Doesn’t that only display communities that your home instance has connected with before?
I’m not sure. I’d be curious to know the answer to this.
Thank you I didn’t know about that and I was looking for that function 😅😅
Yeah, we’re working on a better design solution for that, since it is definitely not intuitive the way it is now.
It’s fine once you’ve discovered it, but the lack of onboarding in the app means you’ll probably never discover it on your own
Just making it a visible search bar would be a huge starter because right now it looks like a header.
