I was searching for whydrs on lemmy.world and it does not show up when I search with those keywords. If I just type drs it does, but shouldn't it appear with whydrs as well?

It's because they named it whynotdrs.com

Kind of a mess.

We were thinking of changing the URL, but it would have broken the federation and we would have had to start again from scratch. 🙁

It's not ideal I know, having such disparate names across social. We're just a rag tag group of DRS advocates at the end of the day, doing what we can.

No worries! By the way when I search for communities in All (instead of Local) it's not listing all the communities from lemmy.world. Not even close to it. I also cant find communities from Kbin. Do you know why that might be? I had to make a lemmy.world account to use other communities because of that.

Honestly I'm still learning the functionality of that myself.

I have subscribed to a Lemmit community that reposts Superstonk content, and the GMECanada community on Lemmy.ca. But accessing content from those communities from this instance is still a bit tricky. It's something I hope gets smoothed out in time as I'm not smart enough to address it myself 😅
