I can't seem to find my community from other instances. (lemmy.ml)

I created a community few hours ago [email protected] on lemmy.ml. It currently has two post and two subscribers. I wanted to check if it is discoverable through search. While you can find the community through this home instance, but it doesn't show up through others like beehaw.org or browse.feddit.de.

Do I need to do something manually? Or it would do the indexing(?) on its own? If so, it would be great if someone tells me how much time it generally takes. Thanks.

If this is true does this mean I need to create a second user for myself on my personal instance to get it to register other instances/communities? I can't find anything in search right now that isn't local, no matter how many times I search for something by keyword or URL. I'm loving Lemmy but the federation/cross-instance search is pretty opaque, which is frustrating.

I'm running my own instance and federation through search discovery is working fine for me. So maybe an unrelated issue
