Can't see many (most?) communities on other Lemmy instances via aussie.zone (self.help)

Hi, why can I only see some communities on other servers?

For example, https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected] works but https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected] doesn't work ("404: couldnt_find_community").

I'm a Lemmy noob, sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

EDIT: The missing communities are also not visible via Community Search with All selected.

For a remote community to be accessible, someone first needs to search for it

Is this also how an instance's 'All' page is populated (only by posts from communities that members have visited or subscribed to)?

Only by communities someone else has already searched for. Though if nobody is subscribed, they won't receive new posts/comments from the home instance.
