To see it in action:
Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)
Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch
Example of search for ‘movies’

One important thing about Lemmyverse is that you can search for communities your instance isn’t “aware of” yet. Seeing the “Add remote community” button, I guess this is something that’s not possible with Piefed’s community search?
The other day I made a feature which automatically adds every community posted to newcommunities@lemmy.world. And another feature that automatically posts to that comm whenever a local community is created.
That’s works on a ongoing basis. There are other features for bulk-adding communities as a one off job.
Piefed loads the data from Lemmyverse: https://piefed.social/post/531611
This post only says that the Lemmyverse data “is used to suggest search results to people when adding a remote community.” Is this data also included in the communities page?
Another thought about the linked post: Removing inactive communities from the Lemmyverse data is certainly a good thing for stuff like “technology”, “memes”, “news” etc., but if you’re looking for a community about a very niche topic you might even be interested in an inactive community without active alternatives to perhaps “revive” it with your posts.
I’ll have to ping @rimu@piefed.social for your first question.
About your other paragraph, not sure what the inactive threshold is, but yeah, that could be useful.
