https://lemmyverse.net/ has been invaluable to me as someone running a very low member-count (for now?) instance. This is a directory of communities on all known instances.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Thank you, let me check it out
Use sub.rehab, lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de
Its a little weird, but difficulty with finding communities across instances is a known issue with the fediverse and I expect it'll improve in future!
Go to lemmy.world, click the three vertical lines.and hit "community" to get you here. Should work for most instances.
But that will only show communities on Lemmy.world, none on other instances
The OP asked how to see communities on an instance like lemmy.world and that's how to do it.
I get logged out when I go to a different instance.
You aren't logged out per se, you don't have an account on that instance so will show as not being logged in there (which you aren't). What I tend to do is save any community links to a notepad app and then go back to my own instance and paste the link into the search box or just search using the communities name.
You can use your World account to post in communities on a different instance, but if you want to join that instance you need to make a separate account.
It's best you have one account on World, go to the top where it says communities, search under all, and subscribe to what appeals to you. You can still interact with the other instance with no issue.
Instances are completely separate servers. The downside is if World goes down, then you can't do much, but you can login to a Blahaj account and still use Lemmy like normal, except access World posts. So the idea is to create your own instance and customize your feed, if a major instance is down it doesn't impact your ability to browse instances that are still up.
Is it expected to change in future? For me it's a huge limitation for me, I would like to have a flawless integration and ease of movement between the instances. So far Lemmy is good but I will come back only If there's an improvement in this regard which I believe there would be if it's possible since the mass migration from reddit.
