I apologize if this isn't the right community to post feature suggestions.

I've seen a lot of posts/comments with people complaining about the community search function in lemmy/jerboa/mlem with people replying with a link to the lemmyverse community search. It would be helpful for new users if the lemmyverse search was integrated somehow. Right now I think the difficulty in discovering the communities you're looking for is the biggest barrier to entry for lemmy.
