I can't seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff.

The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there.

However I'm not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn't to helpful right now.

Which instance is your account based on? In my experience, using my lemmy.world account at peak server load makes Voyager very slow, Jerboa SUPER slow and Liftoff unable to load anything until I change to my .wtf account..

My main question is how do you go directly to a community. That's the primary problem, I can find a community, but if I want to go directly to it I can't find a way to do this.

Search isn't helpful because it seems to return results for all instances federated with the one you are searching. So finding something specific is a crap shoot of scrolling forever :/

If you're using Jerboa or Voyager, there should be links to the ones you're subscribed to in the menus where you decide the sorting of your feed, like this:
