Mlem has a community search function. It is very hidden. In the feed view Tap the top center of the app and there should be able to search.

FAQ
- When will insert feature here be implemented?
- Check our issue board--if there isn't an issue open for the feature you want, feel free to open an issue or make post! Just remember that devs are people too--we're doing this for free in our spare time, and building a quality app takes a lot of patient work.
- Is Mlem available for Android?
- No. Mlem is written using SwiftUI, which is not currently supported on Android. If such support becomes available, we will look into bringing Mlem to our Android friends.
- How do I join the beta?
- We are currently testing our new 2.0 codebase on TestFlight. We have two beta groups: a weekly group that receives the current state of our development branch every week, and a stable group that receives a curated pre-release build at the end of each development cycle.

I really like the implementation, it is not intuitively found, but as soon as one knows it comes very naturally.
You weren’t kidding when you said it’s “very hidden”. It didn’t even occur to me that the greyed out “Community…” text was a search box. No borders, and the text formatting does not attract attention at all.
I think even a slightly contrasting background would / magnifying glass glyph would better indicate you can search there.
Not mlem but there is a Lemmy Community-Browser that covers most (all?) instances here: https://browse.feddit.de
Touch the subscribed/commubity name at the top. It will open a search menu
it's a bit convoluted, adding a dedicated search icon at the bottom might be a good idea
Yeah, I struggled with finding this too. Seems a bit too hidden
