Does anyone else think Lemmy could benefit from a community-specific search feature? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been wondering—does anyone else kind of wish that Lemmy offered the option to search within individual communities?

For instance, you could go to a specific Lemmy community, tap on a search bar/icon, and type the name of a post, a topic, or even a comment to quickly find what you're looking for.

Reddit has this feature, and I find that it's super helpful for narrowing down results in large, active subreddits.

Do you think a community-specific search feature would enhance Lemmy’s usability, or do you prefer the current approach?

Would this even be technically possible under Lemmy’s architecture?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Is that iOS or Android? I didn’t see it in the App Store, but “connect” is pretty generic so I may have just scrolled by and missed it.

Connect for lemmy it's on android.
