How do people view communities made on other instances? (mander.xyz)

I've heard that one of the big features of Lemmy is that users from one instance can interact and follow users from different instances. But I can't figure out how exactly that works. I made a community earlier (on mander.xyz) and when I tried searching for it from a different instance (lemmy.world) it wouldn't show up. However, a comment I made on another post made by lemmy.world user on lemmy.ml did show up. How does this work?

I had this issue as well for a community i made in another instance. If no one from your instance has looked at it before it won't sync. to force the check in the search use [email protected] The bang before forces the check and should help find it
