How do I search for posts in a specific community? (lemm.ee)

I wanted to check if the community I was about to post in already had a similar post. When I selected that community in the search page and typed in the keywords, I still got the results from other communities and instances.

Here is an example, which should find your post, but does not (for me).

Neither for me. Adding quotes also returns no results. Can you share an example where it works?

The above link only yields results from asklemmy@lemmy.ml. So in a way, it is what you asked for.

This query shows me your post as the first result.

This query shows me my comment as the first result.

Yes it is unreliable, but it's the best I know to (sometimes) do the job. I would also appreciate a better solution, that's how I came to this thread.

Interesting, they don't seem to work for me. Can't find neither my post, nor your comment.

Interesting, I was afraid of that. Adds to the unreliability :D

Are you by any chance not subscribed to asklemmy@lemmy.ml? With how federation and content pulling works, that could be an explanation.

[–] Hedup@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I subscribed, but it says subscribe pending.

I subscribed, but it says subscribe pending.

Have that too with some instances. Being pending should already suffice to make the content visible.

Try the searches again, do yours now show the same as mine?

I meant I've been subscribed and it's like this for days. Also rechecked and noticed that the newest result is 6 days old in my post search and 7 days old in your comment search, despite searching by New. So I think it's something to do with that.
