welcome!

edit: just realized this isn’t even my instance but w/e, welcome to the fediverse!

2 things that really helped me: https://browse.feddit.de/ to find communities then search in the communities tab with name like [email protected]

if it doesn’t pop up try typing [email protected] then [email protected] again to see if it comes up

basically new communities wont show on your community search tab until someone else on your server has searched and subscribed or interacted
