Is your proposal related to a problem?
Currently, the instance sidebar is made up of two distinct
Site
fields -description
andsidebar
:The shorter
description
field is used by instance-searching websites such as https://join-lemmy.org. But, unlike the instance sidebar, the community sidebar is made up of only one field. It would be nice if communities also had a two-field system like instances do. That way, a community search UI could render a short description about each result in a similar way to https://join-lemmy.org.Describe the solution you'd like.
Add separate
description
andsidebar
fields toCommunity
Describe alternatives you've considered.
It's currently possible to just render the first few lines of the full sidebar text, but this doesn't always produce desirable results due to the way community moderators choose to format the sidebar. Having a separate
description
field for a more concise description would be preferable imo.Additional context
