EDIT: I don’t like the term ‘soy boy’, just picked ‘soydev’ for a lack of a better word, intending to use it semi-ironically.
recently I saw a project move PR discussions to discord, like what’s the point of using a git forge at this point, you can as well just use git send-email
It’s not a good documentation thing by any metric, but can’t you just search? Discord has a search button!
Having tried it, search is horrible. You have to look up the help to even know how to filter the search to a specific channel, by default it searches the whole server. I never managed to find anything, I had to ask again instead…
It shows you all the filters except the one for the channel…
It shows it. You either glanced over it or didn’t scroll down, plus Ctrl+F is a common shortcut anyway.
I might’ve very well glanced over it, but the point is that I missed it when it’s probably the most important one. Why is it added when you do ctrl-f but not when clicking?
EDIT: Actually, it doesn’t show it until you actually type in the box:
The newest mobile update restricts you to the current channel when you search
For those having trouble filtering to a specific channel:
In the past I would get full server (or multi-server) search. Its not happening now, but how I got it to focus:
Click inside the message input box like you are typing a message, then hit Ctrl+F. That would send me to the search box with “in #channel-name” to filter for only said channel.
You don’t need to hit the box; just Ctrl + F brings it up
