Why do I get different results when searching for communities on two different instances? (lemmy.ml)

This is what I mean...Left is tchncs.de, right is Lemmy.ml

Edit: Also, trying to access those communities that don't appear in the search result for specific instance, gives this message

404: couldnt_find_community

Ok, but question: If anyone can start up a Lemmy server, how do you expect existing servers to know about the new ones without someone explicitly making the connection?

There's no central Lemmy mainframe that every server is connected to. There are no hardwired or mandatory connections, and there shouldn't be. I'm the face of that, what alternative solution do you propose?
