It's the 3 stacked lines icon on the bottom bar, beside the Home icon. It seems like that if you input part of the community name, it'll find it, but it doesn't seems to find communities by topic or anything like that.

That is... competely unintuitive 🤨... like why not just have a spyglass icon there, why the hamburger thing 🤨... maybe it's a bug 🤷.

Yeah, it searches only by community name, not by topic, but hey, reddit works the same way (almost) and I didn't really mind that.

What bugs me is the URL handling, it keeps redirecting me to a browser, then I have to copy the instance-community link and copy it back here for the search 😒.

Agreed hahaha.

The search redirects me within the app, but links for communities in comments seem to open in the browser. Seems that that are still some bugs here and there in the app.

Yeah, that's what I meant.
