Can’t you also just use the search tool? The names and descriptions of all communities on an instance are known to all instances that are federated with it, aren’t they?
If you want to find a community about adhd, you write “adhd” on the search (click “communities” as the tab when searching!).
It shows every community that has “adhd” in their name. You then subscribe to a community and it starts showing in the All of everyone on your instance.
Sopuli is an old, reliable and established instance, thanks to its usebase and lemmy-federate, you can expect 99% of the active communities to be federated there

Yes. That seems to be the case in Piefed as Blaze said. The one I was responding to uses Lemmy.
I’ve been doing the same on Lemmy (sopuli.xyz), as well.
I don’t know if sopuli.xyz has a custom patch or they use lemmy-federate.net, but that is not a normal feature of Lemmy just yet.

Yes. But Lemmy itself does not federate new communities itself just yet.
