Try https://browse.feddit.de/ to find them and then you can build your own url like this: https://<your.instance>/c/<community_name>@<other.instance>. Kind of klunky, hope this gets ironed out.

Thank you! This is really helpful. There are still some communities that are 404ing, but it's probably part of the growing pains.
I find you have to search twice. Paste ! [email protected], click search, wait, click inside the text input where you pasted then click search again. This will get any community.
Still two I can't seem to find using our search. Maybe you can help/try? -https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] -https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected]
I put in [email protected] and [email protected] and I can get it. The philippines I had to wait the clicct in the input then press search a few times for it to appear.
After searching the first time, wait a few minutes and search again, it will probably show up. I had the same issue yesterday and apparently you need to do this the first time a remote community is accessed from a local instance.
It only works for me (when pasting the full url of the community in the search box) if I select "All" instead of "Communities"
Yeah that's the problem. I'm trying to search because I don't know the URL in the first place :/ I guess I'll have to use another instance's search.
