"Lemmy Explorer" a new website to explore Lemmy communities and instances

in case anyone's wondering, we'll have a banner up sometime soon, just need to get image uploading fixed 😊

I know this isn't exactly a help forum or on-topic, but is anyone able to assist with a basic lemmy question related to the thread subject? Many communities listed on community searches (both this one and the feddit.de browser) don't appear in the community search on the instance I'm signed up on (feddit.nl). Whether it's via keyword, !community@blank.blank format, or full URL, they show up in community search sites but not on the instance search despite it being set to all communities. It's also my understanding that the feddit.nl instance federates with all other instances and isn't blocked by any other instances. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly on my end?

Thanks, I'll take a look, I've been wondering how to find communities

Would there be a possibility to login from your local instance and subscribe to them from there? Or am i missing out something? Do i have to copy the name, go on lemmy.dbzero.com/c/whatever@wherever and subscribe then? Or is there a more easy way?
