Hi! It’s me as usual.

I was wondering if there could be a way for lemmy when federating to at least fetch:

  • community names
  • community nicknames
  • usernames

I’m a fan of the fact that it doesn’t fetch everything because it would be a mess very quickly and it makes no sense to fetch a whole server because one user of your instance maybe wants to follow a single community from a super big instance… But names? So when people search for communities don’t need to “force” federation check using the exact syntax.

    There is some discussion on the issue tracker about fetching a json file with all the communities from the Lemmyverse search engine to improve discoverability.
