Searching for communities (self.asklemmy)

Hi everybody.

I'm starting to use Lemmy and really enjoying it! I'm using liftoff as a client which allowed me to search for communities as an anon lemmy.world user and logged in with my account in sdf.org. I have searched for communities, specifically pfsense, and when I do it from lemmy.world I can find a community !pfsense@lemmy.world which I cannot subscribe to since I searched it from am anonymous account. When I search for the same using my account I don't get a match no matter what I type in the search box and if I search from the Lemmy.sdf.org webpage I get the same results of post but no community to subscribe to. Is this a lemmy.world limitation that doesn't allow searches from other instances? Is an SDF thing that doesn't allow searching in the Lemmy.world instance? How could I get to subscribe to that community?

Thanks in advance!

This, I was literally just having the same issue. Interesting issues come with federated websites I guess.
