Hello! When I try to find a new community that hasn't been searched before on my instance via Liftoff, nothing shows up even after multiple attempts. However, when I do the same via usual browser, everything works fine. Does anyone know how to solve that? Other than that I love using Liftoff

Honestly, the liftoff app has a great search feature. Have you tried adding the instance where that community is, searching for the community in that instance and then tap subscribe and it'll transfer you to your instance view of that community.

Indeed, it worked. Thank you! Although, I don't find it convenient becuase instead of simply searching "!community@instance.com" I have to add an instance first and then search for the comminuty. Too many movements for a simple task IMO

I see what you're saying. Technically it could just parse the instance from a string like that or at least let us type the name and instance in the fields manually instead of adding it.

Found this out by accident, & it works really well, & like you say, Liftoff does have a great search feature..
