I already forked the ui-repo, found the correct file to fix it and even found the place where I should add a query to the search form to search only for communities if you start searching from the communities page.
But then I saw that this change is already done in that file. I double checked the HTML on my instance and there it’s broken. I checked the history of the page and see it has been fixed 18 hours before I started looking into it.
All my hard work for nothing.
I had this exact thing with Mastodon a few days ago. Couldn’t find a way to get the local server’s post-ID for a federated post if you had the original URL, so I thought “screw it, I’ll do it myself”.
Downloaded the source, set up a local instance, added extra space to my server so I could run ElasticSearch, went to the file where I wanted to add my “uri:” search prefix, and I find (to paraphrase)…
Been there for years.
