The community browser (https://browse.feddit.de/) is your friend here - it can see across most instances, and searches here (rather then directly in the ”search communities” feature in your instance) to find communities.
Once you got the full identifier (like for this /c it is [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
), you can then directly look it up in your instance’s Search)

I did encounter some times where I searched for a /c that should exist, but some how not findable via my instance though - hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in. (Yup, I did check that my instance federates with the other instance).
In any case, if you can’t find it in the community browser, feel free to be the one to start it on your instance!
Hmm, to change or not on youtrip first 🤔
