That's a Jerboa problem not an asklemmy problem.

Fair, but "working" is still a condition I put forth as desireble. Whether or not it not working is asklemmy's fault or jerboa's fault, it doesn't "work."

I'm not accusing you personally of sabotaging lemmy, we're all cool here, I'm just saying "a working search function would be a good thing to have inside all communities on lemmy" and I'm not sure why that would be controversial.

From my end, it sounds like you want things that haven't been developed yet and don't like the bandaid solutions that have been added to try and help. There are a ton of things that won't work from the different apps and again, expecting them to makes it sound like you have expectations that just can't be met right now.

Well, what I was actually saying was that feature that hasn't been developed yet would be cool to have.

Are we not allowed to think features that haven't been developed yet would be good to develop? How does developing happen if one is only allowed to think current features would be good? Sure, "we have community search at home," but I can't still want actual McDonald's fries? They are objectively better than orida, "real search" is better than "bandaid solutions," honestly I don't get why there would be pushback against the thought that "we need a real search function," tbh, you make it sound like they're developing it or working on it so obviously someone agrees with me, what're we doing here? Same team dude.
