I have a question about communities. Are communities server-specific, for example, is the “Gaming” community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org and will I need to join both?

    There is not a single, god community. Any instance can make /c/startrek, and people can subscribe to both.

        The only “universal community search” tool that we know of so far, is https://browse.feddit.de/ .

        But I’d be very open to adding this type of functionality into lemmy’s apps, and this UI too.

      yep, that does make sense from security / moderation standpoint, as one “god community” would probably get Bad Apple’d ™ .
      but I would argue that “lol just manually opt-in to other communities” could be improved.
      I will go search through issues on GitHub to see which of my ideas were already proposed and which still need to be opened 👍
