True, but searching from a Lemmy instance will still only show you the ones which that one instance knows about. (I think?)

Right. I usually use https://lemmyverse.net to search for communities.

Yea, a lemmy instance will show the same kinds of results for federated communities but there is no substitute for viewing the local communities from that instance.
