Searching for a community by its ID seems to be broken on feddit.org. To reproduce:
- Go to https://feddit.org/search
- Change Type: “All” to “Communities” in the drop-down selection box
- Put “!test@sh.itjust.works” in the search input box
- Click the Search button
No results are found.
On other Lemmy instances, I have seen this type of search work.
No, it’s still failing; you simply forgot to set the Search field to “Communities”. The results returned from your search are uses of the string “!test@sh.itjust.works” within comments and posts. Not the community itself.
Okay, I gave it a try
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
