Seems counterintuitive to only search locally while in the Fediverse?

Is it the same on your instances?

You can change this in your user settings
See the "Type" buttons, I have mine set to local because I use a different account to interact with non-lemmy.ml instances:

Thanks, but this setting does not seem to be for that, I already have it on "All"

You're right on other instances the list of communities is "local" by default always apparently. I think it's just coded that way. I somehow completely missed that you were talking about the list of communities and not just posts, thats my bad.
