I think it's defined behavior because the idea (sort of from mastodon I guess???) is that there's the local instance and it's communities, and then the federated world. Presumably some people want to ?maybe? stay close to home? It's def a techie way of thinking, like having your own internal wiki, and then knowing about wikipedia say.

It made sense to me because I already worked it out for mastodon, but otherwise I can see how that's confusing.

Hmm... Weird. I kinda figured the "Local/Subscriptions/All" toggle would be what defined if I'm checking Federated, and not the "Community/Comments/Posts/All" toggle. I understand the "URL" option if I want to search for a URL. I guess maybe it treats a federated community as a URL even if it's typed as a community?

I'm on Mastadon as well, and for some reason never tripped up on this. But I'm not sure I've sought out any remote communities in Mastadon like that.
