Search isn't global? (lemmy.today)

I've been trying to get the app setup today, and I'm struggling to find communities through search. It seems like the search is only checking communities on my instance, not everywhere? Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find a way to search the broader fediverse.

When I search for e.g. "iama", I get several communities from several instances. Seems to work for me. Maybe your instance isn't federating correctly? Or maybe you're looking for niche communities that simply don't exist anywhere? Do other clients/apps work?

What you see when you search, and what everyone around you sees, is different and depends on what instances your instance talks to.
