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?

Have you already confirmed that you can search for other communities belonging to other instances?

Yes, it had to do with me being signed out on lemmy.world
