It’s excruciatingly obnoxious to have to rely on third party sources for what should be a first-party feature.
Like, I select all and then search a query. “Oh no, nobody on your server used a third party service to find it, so you won’t see it here.”
Like, how short-sighted is that, really? If I search for a string in the ‘all’ servers, I should have a list of ‘all’ the servers containing that string.
It’s a really simple concept. Not sure why this post even has to be made, but I’m wondering if there’s something I can do to make these ‘features’ more intuitive.
Uh… no it’s not.
I’m sorry, but what you’re doing is actively making this service harder to use by suggesting that ‘all’ should only mean ‘the communities other community members have subscribed to that contain that string.’
Where do the community members even find the the ones to subscribe to? Oh, they use a third-party service or ‘just know’ because… whatever reason.
Gee, fediverse design strikes again. Sorry, it has to be said. It really does.
