Community Discoverability Inconsistencies (piefed.zip)

I'm using Interstellar with a PieFed account, and I've found communities quickly and easily (including many on this instance) as soon as I start typing partial words. But I just discovered that skateboarding@lemmy.world and rollerskating@lemmy.world aren't returned in searches unless I type out "!skateboarding@lemmy.world" in full. I only discovered these communities exist when I switched to Jerboa and my Lemmy account. Is this a quirk of federation, a mod setting, or something else?

I'm new to the Fediverse so please be gentle. 😂
