are some communities on this Lemmy thing inaccesible by searching? If so, how to find them? (reddthat.com)

I can not believe that there is, for example, no furry communities here - yet there are none in search results...

ALSO: How to follow communities in other fediverse social media (like Mastodont and stuff like that)?

I think that it has to do with lemmmy and instances. When no one has searched for a specific community from your home instance this community isn't known by your instance. To find a niche community that wasn't known by your instance you must use the exact name of this community (like !asklemmy@lemmy.ml for exemple) to find thoses exact names and brosse all communities you can use lemmyverse.net
