      Ahh yeah, that’s a neat feature.

      I realize now that alias is not exactly what I meant: maybe a better word would be ‘keywords’ set for a community that could be used in lemmy search.

        I mean that’s exactly how the display names work.
        You can search for either display name or address.

          I meant more generally: a community could set a list of keywords that they could be found by, e.g. this community could have

          • memes
          • information technology
          • it
          • satire

          so we could also have a keyword search possibly:

            i suggested categories a few times, but i have no idea how to suggest it to devs. also i deleted my github account.

            categories could later even be used to subscribe new usrers to lots of stuff they are interested in… or unsubscribe things you no longer like.

              Voyager has something similar to that! “Community starterpacks” for new users:

              A really cool feature and lowers the barrier for new users. But I agree would be neat if these things would be baked into lemmy somehow, like your categories idea.
