I have a simmilar problem, but I found out when you search for [email protected] then wait a second and go to the Communities tab and choos "All" then you will see the one you searched for in the list and then you can subscribe to it.

yeah, sometimes just refreshing (or waiting) on the search window works, and then a instance friendly link will show up
Check sudo docker logs lemmy_lemmy_1 right after you search. I was getting http get request failures to the other servers.
Add 'lemmyexternalproxy' to networks for the lemmy service in docker-compose.yml and rebuild 'sudo docker-compose up -d --build'
Fixed it for me.
Edit: just read the part about nothing in the logs. If this is not it, I'm not sure.
I'm almost positive that network is already there but I'm definitely going to check the Lemmy-specific logs. I only knew how to check the general server logs when I last looked at it. If I ever get my kid to bed I'll take another look.
Might be, the current docker-compose.yml has it in there properly. However, when I used the install with docker guide a day or two ago it hard linked to the 0.17 version which didn't give external network access to the lemmy service. Sounded similar to the problem I was facing, but if you used the current docker-compose.yml I guess that is not it.
It sounds like the back end has no external network access. You can check with something like sudo docker exec -it lemmy_lemmy_1 ping archlinux.org
!!!! THAT DID IT.
Thank you so much I would have never gotten to that solution on my own. Works beautifully now.
Awesome! No problems, I'm glad I could help. Took me a bit to figure out what was going on too.
Have you read option two of finding a community in https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827 and followed the steps there exactly? Lemmy's search for remote communities is pretty confusing and there are lots of ways to get an empty resultset for no good reason. That post will get you on the golden path if that's your issue though.
Try searching either way and wait. At first it will show "No results" or similar but after about 10 seconds it should go away. Then either the result will show, or you need to change selector to "Local" (its a bug). But you need to wait for "No results" to go away.
"No results" never goes away though. I've straight up left it and walked away for like 10 min and no change. That's why I'm starting to wonder if it's an issue with my instance.
My current flow is: search "[email protected]", wait a few seconds, browse to https://ymmel.nl/c/[email protected] - when it opens I'm able to subscribe.
