Does anyone else think Lemmy could benefit from a community-specific search feature?

I’ve been wondering—does anyone else kind of wish that Lemmy offered the option to search within individual communities?

For instance, you could go to a specific Lemmy community, tap on a search bar/icon, and type the name of a post, a topic, or even a comment to quickly find what you're looking for.

Reddit has this feature, and I find that it's super helpful for narrowing down results in large, active subreddits.

Do you think a community-specific search feature would enhance Lemmy’s usability, or do you prefer the current approach?

Would this even be technically possible under Lemmy’s architecture?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!

  • The two apps I have (Sync and Thunder) already do this when I hit search when on a community, so I guess it's a matter of time.

    • Also on the connect app. It has had so many great updates lately.

      • Is that iOS or Android? I didn’t see it in the App Store, but “connect” is pretty generic so I may have just scrolled by and missed it.

    • Raccoon for Lemmy on Android also has the ability to search within communities. Can't recall if Eternity does also.
