PSA for Switch players RE: lobbies

(don't know if this applies to other consoles/PC, as I haven't played them since the end of servers)

More often than not I'll join a lobby with only one or two players in it. It's frustrating. This is due to an issue with matchmaking since Gun took dedicated servers down. What ends up happening is a ton of DOA lobbies. So, unless you have a reason to host and you just want to join a match, do this:

When you search for a match, if the search reads "Search cooldown", immediately cancel the search and start again. Keep doing this, cancelling any "search cooldown", until you join a lobby with multiple people in it.

"Search cooldown" will place you as the host.

Also, it seems the game prioritizes sending players to a lobby that is on the "Waiting for players" screen (the screen between the lobby and when the match actually starts. So if you see a lobby that has multiple people in it, but is not full, and the match is about to start, don't automatically jump. There's a good chance it will fill out on the "Waiting for players" screen.
