When I go search for communities I pretty much never get results even if I know certain communities exist. I think the search is only searching the titles maybe? Needs to search the description at least and have fairly loose matching results. Otherwise it’ll come to a point where you have to slog through lists and lists and lists.

    Definitely does. A lot of communities don’t use the topic names in their community name (e.g. if it’s something very long), but will have it on their description. Those are nearly impossible to find through any means but word of mouth.

    https://browse.feddit.de/ has the same issue.
