What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

Something I haven't been able to wrap my head around, do I need a username on each instance for federated instances? If not, how does one participate in communities in other instances? I'm with lemmy.ml, but if I want to interact with a post on beehaw, how do I do that?
