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.

This query shows me your post as the first result.

This query shows me my comment as the first result.

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.

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.
