No. I want to explicitly be able to jump to a community without search for two reasons:
- Search has been unreliable at times and a community may not be listed in the results. (This could be because of a client issue or instance issue.)
- There are times where I want to jump to a community, without being subscribed and opt not to search. (Or cannot search for it because of condition #1.) It's also one step instead of two or three.
Essentially, it's a convenience and debugging feature request. This came about because I was essentially blocked from specific communities because of an instance update that broke Connect recently.
You could post a comment somewhere with your favorite communities in it, like: !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net
Then save that comment? Then just go to your saved list to see the links
Well that is a nice way to get around the issue, thanks. I was focused purely on app functionality and not a bypass. (I mean, it's not a "bypass" per say, but I can't think of the correct word at the moment.)
Workaround
Dang. You are just filled with solutions today!
Any ideas for achieving world peace and try for 3 of 3?
Overturn citizens united, arrest the fascists, enact universal ranked choice voting, eliminate the electoral college, codify Roe v Wade, eliminate gerrymandering to start. Not sure what to do about Russia, North Korea, Israel and China. You kind of can't have world peace when anyone is warmongering, committing genocide or using slave labor.
