How do lemmings update their cache of federated communities@instances? (lemmy.world)

I am trying to find a home base lemmy that I jive with that is a bit smaller and less likely to get crushed. While exploring I have found disparities in which foreign communities I can search for and find. Most of the time I can't find the community I know exists, or I do find and the User count is so wildly off that I question if I have found the correct one(I have).

It seems to me that the communities@foreignInstance are irregularly/periodically updated into a local cache. If I am correct can Lemmy servers at least expose 'Last Update time', 'Next Update time' and just general mean time between updates?

I've noticed that I have to search for "!community@instance" first, then just "community", then finally it'll show up. Though even then there are a few communities I subscribed to that still aren't updating.

Yah. So far with searching using https://lemmyverse.net and right-click copying the community's full URL (not the [email protected]) and search ALL at my home instance works every single time.
