About brackets in community:
, instance:
- Used to select multiple communities and instances (separated with a comma or semicolon), for example
community:{philippines@lemmy.world,memes@lemmy.ml} hello -world
- Returns search results only from communitiesphilippines@lemmy.world
andmemes@lemmy.ml
with the keyword “hello
” and excludeworld
from post/comment results-instance:{instance1.com,instance2.com,instance3.nft} community:{memes@lemmy.ml} hello -world
- Exclude instancesinstance1.com
,instance2.com
,instance3.nft
, show post/comments from communitymemes@lemmy.ml
. Exclude posts/comments containing “world
”.
Here is my example usage:
Say you want to search memes@lemmy.ml
for "hello world"
:
community:memes@lemmy.ml "hello world"
Shows results from memes@lemmy.ml
with only the phrase "hello world"

Did you receive any feedback on this? I can’t seem to use search properly and can’t find what the syntax is.
