The default web app has a feature for this. When you’re writing a post, as you type the title, it automatically does some sort of search in the community you’re posting to for the title you’ve entered. So if you write “avatar” as the first word in the title field, it will search the community for posts with “avatar” in the title. Don’t know how many other apps or front ends do the same, but it is actually a helpful feature for exactly this.

Thanks for the communication and the long write-up.
The problem I personally see is that if I wanted to discuss a certain movie that is in cinema now, or a show that is currently airing, I won’t know if there is a thread somewhere in the community already about it or not. It would be great if there could be a way to find such discussions more easily in between the tons of linked news articles.

A lot of it depends on how you access Lemmy.
I use the Boost app and the search feature there hits posts, communities, users, comments, the works.
So, say I want to see what’s up with the new movie “Argylle” which comes out Friday(?)
Not a lot. A couple of trailer posts. That strikes me as a good opportunity to create a discussion thread.

That seems to be the problem Lemmy in general. You want to find something and you look but you aren’t sure where you should post it

There's a multireddit style aggregate of fediverse movie communities at https://kbin.social/c/Cinema if that helps with discovery.
