Can't see a lot of communities (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So when I go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities and search for let's say Wordpress communities, I can see at least 3 there. When I search on my instance, so I can join and subscribe, I can't see any. Why is that? The instances they are on are not defederated from my instace.

Put the !community@instance in the search bar then wait. It takes a while for the servers to negociate federation.

When you say 'your instance', do you mean that you are hosting an instance seperate from lemmy.ml?

If so I think I'm facing the same issue over on my instance. Its a real problem for discovery, and I'm not entirely sure I've got federation set up correctly.
