Can't see all communities on other servers? (midwest.social)

Does the Midwest server not store essentially dead communities from other servers? For example I can find and join technology@beehaw but not iasip@lemmy.ml. I am guessing because the IASIP community doesn't meet some content or engagement threshold. But, I want to post there so it will meet the threshold! It seems like this could create duplicate communities across servers if small communities can't be easily revived.

Yes. Always search twice if it doesn’t show the first time. If it is “new” to the instance it maps it and then on the second search it will show.
