This is a big problem. It creates the illusion that /c/cats on one particular instance is the real /c/cats.
This is the root of re-centralization and it must be pulled out.

I have had better luck with this one. Why does this work in a way that makes the users jump through hoops to discover what is out there?

I think (this means I’m guessing from what I have read/understand) that each instance can only see communities they’re federated with. Meaning that if nobody on the server has subscribed to community X then that instance won’t find that community in its community search section.
Could be totally wrong but when I look for communities on smaller instance they don’t seem to find as many. And I read a couple posts on self hosting community that leads me to believe that’s whats happening
So, if that’s right you really need to search for communities from a big instance.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong!
