How many people are working on Lemmy?

It seems like it should be straightforward, but it doesn't appear to be working very well.
I just saw a community I wanted to follow. My account is in lemmy.fmhy.ml, and the community is in lemmy.world.
The link to the community is this: https://lemmy.world/c/sql
Following formatting standards, the link for me to be able to join SHOULD be https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/sql@lemmy.world correct?
But when I type that in I get "404: couldnt_find_community". This is true every time I try to simply change the community name. In fact I have not been able to go to a single community using the URL formatting in this way.
Am I misunderstanding something?
the 500 comment limit made the concept of daily threads replacing common questions a killer on subs like r/fitness. "Has this question been asked before? Well, instead of being able to pull up several threads about this topic, I have to go through the daily threads of hundreds of days and search the comments for keywords - after increasing the number of comments visible from 200 to 500, and then still not being able to search all the comments on the 1000+ comment threads." Just genuinely became unusable.
The linking issue is a big one that they will need to figure out how to make work. If you can't share a community easily there's just no way this is going to get big.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but what link?
how do I follow the !startrek@startrek.website community using an account created on another instance? Every time I click a link there, it takes me to that instance and tells me I am no longer logged in and have to make another account (which I did at first but I'm regretting now because I'm getting myself confused, I think).
Hopefully there will be a Lemmy equivalent to r/fuckcars and r/YIMBY soon enough.
