    Click on the tab Magazines at the top, select local and federate, put lemmy.world in the search box to see all lemmy.world communities. If you want to check for community with certain keywords you can try putting [keyword]@lemmy.world. It can search for the keyword in both the name and description, but not extensive as if you’d search on lemmy.world.

    This can use some improvement, but it’s not a Kbin problem though, since Lemmy is even worse when it comes to searching for communities outside each instance.

      Edit: this just shows me the lemmy.world magazines that are federated to my instance

        Ah, I see what you mean now. In that case I don’t think you can do it on Kbin natively rn. There is this website though, which might help a bit. At least imo it’s easier to use. https://lemmyverse.net/communities

        You can just filter for only lemmy.world. When you find a community you want to join you’ll have to type the handle of the community in the search icon to the right rather than in the Magazine tab for communities that doesn’t already have a copy on your instance.
