Do you think it works okay, at least so far as local/federated communities go? What are some adjustments you might like to see to it?
Personally, I still find the dropdown/search combination somewhat unintuitive and at times it can feel clunky, although it has definitely improved. I sort of think a regular search bar to filter through communities/posters might be better, with a separate dropdown beneath or next to the bar, so one knows one can directly search by community/username, but I can see why it was done the way it was to a degree.
I want to be able to search my own comments. Sometimes I want to pull up an old comment to prove I said/didn’t say something or find a meme that I posted awhile ago. Being able to search other user’s comments though would be kind of eeeeh, might be used for harassment.
You can do both of these on the search page by filtering by creator.
Huh, neat. So that’s what that option is for.
There would also probably be an easy way to add this as a shortcut on your profile page too, IE to search all your content. Someone would have to open up an issue on the lemmy-ui github for that tho.
