Not exactly. It does but search the community and won't work is the community does not already exist on that instance.
I'm looking for a solution that can use the search option for communities that my instance does not already know.

Welcome! It's pretty easy actually.
Everyone with a little bit of technical knowledge can set up their owner server, also called an "instance".
Users sign up for a instance and get access to the communities created on the instance they signed up for but also to the communities of other servers because they can communicate with each other.
The big advantage is that it's not a walled garden. Unlike reddit where one company controls everything, if someone here we're to pull a "Spez" (what Reddit did) they would be laughed out of the room because each server is owned independently.
Currently there's two popular softwares to run these servers: Lemmy and Kbin. But that's just a program that server owners run. I believe there's currently over 300 servers that are running one of these softwares to create this distributed social network.
Hello and welcome! Make yourself comfortable. We got snacks, yiff and great company!
Don't let them catch you posting yiff, though!
Ah! Get well soon!
They are potentially viewable by admins since they're not encrypted end to end and are stored in the database. It's why there's a warning message when you try to send someone a DM.
They should appear as pinned in each community if you visit it and if the moderators have pinned anything.
We need to ask Louis Rossmann to join the fediverse. He's been super critical with Reddit on YouTube.
Unfortunately there's probably a large amount of users who simply don't care.
But that's okay. What matters is content creators, not content consumers. Anyone with half a gram of decency and self integrity will have realized that they need to take steps to move away from Reddit.
Oooh! Faved. I'll try it out once I have some time.
I was 12, I think, when I got my first phone. A Nokia. I was mortified the first time it happened. Then clack-clack-clack I was taught to put it together again.
Happened many more times afterwards.
This is cartoon-level villainy.
