Nope, instead visit those servers for Accounts & Tags to follow, via the urls:

/explore
/directory
/public/local

ie:
https://datasci.social/explore
https://datasci.social/directory
https://datasci.social/public/local

I had an alike conclusion after learning its current possibilities, by active daily use in the last two weeks or so.

On what really instance matters:

Most important than expecting full search, or checking Local/Federated timelines, in here, the key skill to learn is a continuous curation of follows: Accounts & Tags:

@ceperez

It is by design!
Search is limited to 4 types:

#Hashtags
Usernames
User URLs
Post URLs

https://midrange.tedium.co/issues/how-mastodon-search-works/

Follow up to 5 tags in pinned col:
1 Enable ‚Advanced Web Interface‘
2 Search tag, click result of tag search, that will appear on the column further on the right side
3 Then click icon in column top right —> Settings —> +Pin
4 Include additional tags for this column

IMHO after those three confidences in your chosen instance:
1 Impressum/Entity
2 Operators
3 Moderators
then the less important to consider:

4 Local timeline
5 Federated timeline

(Both become difficult of usability once an instance reaches beyond thousand accounts)

In any case, don't forget:

Continuous curation of follows: Accounts & Tags

Those are people that seem to forget that the birdie site required some time of learning in order to use it. They even added onboarding flow in 2014:
