Theoretically it shows the communities with the highest subscriber count first.
Right now tho it seems, that Lemmy is bad at fetching the real subscriber counts of other instances. For example I get this result, when searching for Linux on this account right now.
Every sub-count besides the one of my home-instance is terribly outdated, thus it favors the home-instance community. This is probably not the intent of the developers tho.
I'm currently using Connect (the android App) and search is even funkier, to the point where it order is frankly random, and it appears to only show "famous" instances or the ones I'm subscribed to at least a community.
I know this isn't intended, but I can't help but feel that if sync was possible, this wouldn't be a noticible issue
