Let me give you an example:

there is a community on lemmy.world (whereisthisplace) - https://lemmy.world/c/whereisthisplace
I go on lemmy.ml and search for whereisthisplace
my search parameters are: {Communities} {All} {Top All Time}, {Community: All} {Creator: All}
but when I search for (eg.) Apple I get "[email protected]"

is it because no one is subscribed form this istance?

Because someone on your instance has already searched for the community directly or subscribed to it so it has been federated to your instance.
