finding new communities with fresh Lemmy instance using voyager (hackertalks.com)

I have a fresh lemmy instance. It's not federated with any other communities yet. Except manually. I want to use the Voyager application to search for communities to subscribe to. Discovering communities right now seems to require using an external web browser to find the community name copying it and then pasting it into the Voyager search for communities. Makes it a very slow process.

Doubly so when using the progressive web app installed version of Voyager. Because then the web browser is a different instance than the Voyager interface.

Is there an easier or better way to find communities using Voyager on a fresh Lemmy instance?

Agreed on the tradeoff. I think voyager would benefit from some meta search in the app itself allowing easy subscription to communities even if not on the local instance.
