      Because if nobody on your instance has ever subscribed to a certain community on a different instance - it won’t show up in search results on your instance.

      lemmyverse allows for you to search for any community in any instance, even ones that your instance hasn’t federated with yet. You can then search the community link in your home instance and then subscribe to that community, which will cause your instance to federate with it from them on.
