Searching for a community by its ID seems to be broken on feddit.org. To reproduce:

No results are found.

On other Lemmy instances, I have seen this type of search work.

    Mhm I don’t see a result when I try it on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works either but when I just search for test I see the community in question:

      Hm… In that case, I wonder if this is a bug in recent versions of Lemmy. I’m sure it worked when I was using other instances, but a few months have passed since then, so it’s likely that they were running earlier versions.

    Maybe a temporary problem?

    By the way, I’m glad that feddit uses a bright layout - I can’t read anything on Lemmy, someone should turn on the light…

      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.
