I can't find any communities from other instances in the search engine. What am I doing wrong? (sh.itjust.works)

I tried every ways to find communities from other instances. Searching for the url, searching for !communityname@instance.com, with the filter "all", and I always get no results.

Those are communities that I find in other instances and would like to join. Nothing works.

How do you do it??

This post explains how to discover remote communities (which can be very non-intuitive), have a read through it and I think you'll be able to get yourself sorted: https://lemmy.world/post/9296

Yeah I tried pretty much all the options for joining a community in a remote instance and I can't get any results. I don't know what to do.

Oh, I guess I didn't read your OP closely enough. You did seem to hit the key points. I'm not sure what's wrong and don't have further suggestions. I have to think it's something simple you're missing, otherwise we'd be hearing a flood of similar reports... but what you've described should work. Sorry you're having trouble.
