For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
1)go to http://browse.feddit.de and search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”). This is to make sure you’re seeing if your desired community exists somewhere.
3)search by the title again (not the url that feddit.de let’s you copy… Don’t know why)
4)click the link to the community, it opens in your browser
5)click the sidebar link, click subscribe
6)now you can log into your app (for me it’s jerboa for Lemmy) and see post from those communities in your subscribed feed!
This seems arduous, and it is, but it’s just because I’ve been reading that search for communities in jerboa isn’t functional yet, because we’re all so new! It’ll like get better soon
(Stop reading, below here is an approach I was trying after reading up on the fediverse, but it wasn’t working for me. Saved for posterity)
(Seriously, this didn’t work)

go to your fediverse app (for me it’s jerboa, you might have another) or log into your fediverse instance in a browser (you might already have an account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org)
search for a community, and paste the data you copied in step 3, above.
I hope this works!
(Edit… It’s not quite working, I find communities at browse.feddit.de, but copy/search/paste isn’t getting it done)

go to http://browse.feddit.de
search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”)
click the copy icon for a community (it copies the instance and community name in the right format, like, “https://lemmy.ml/c/nfl” or “https://lemmy.world/c/bills”)
go to your fediverse app (for me it’s jerboa, you might have another) or log into your fediverse instance in a browser (you might already have an account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org)
search for a community, and paste the data you copied in step 3, above.
