    It exists! It gets triggered when you start typing exclamation mark followed by a few characters. A long popup list appeared with communities your home instant knows of.

    And this is with the stock web ui. If you’re using an app then it’s up to the developer of that app.

      Why not trigger it when someone types “/c/”. Using an exclamation mark isn’t intuitive.

        /c/ (and kbin’s /m/) is an implementation detail, the “real” community names all start with !

        well, technically they’re just fancy user accounts which means they start with @, but that’s even more obscure an implementation detail, especially with lemmy allowing both a user and community to have the same name
