I’m not really sure about that. I’m not saying it as an expert or anything, but that’s a discussion I saw around here the other day.
Basically, once you federate and copy the content to your instance, it is in your server and you are responsible for it.
I’ll agree with a few things, tho:
It barely happens today, on centralized platforms. They’re hardly obliged to remove content because some judge says so (it does happen, tho, at least in my country)
I’d imagine it would be a bit of a grey area legally, right now. We would need legislation regarding the fediverse. Imagine someone posts child porn in an instance yours is federated to. Your instance copies the content. You notice and defederated the whole instance, but don’t remove the content. The dude is banned by his home instance and his post is removed. But his copy still exists in yours, since you defederated before his ban and content removal.
Just saying that selfhosting brings a lot of things that need to come to your attention.

You also should be concerned about other people’s data on your instance tho
You are in a large instance, so searching for communities shouldn’t be so much of a hassle, since most are fetched. You use the feddit community browser, look for some keyword of your interest and if it exists you just search it within your instance. Subscribe and you’re done.
If you for some reason can’t find it, it means it is not fetched yet.
So you copy the whole URL (https://any.instance/c/anycommunity), paste in the search bar and then search again for the community name only. It will show up and you can subscribe to it.

Finally a fellow Joey user!
It really surprised me how its user base was so small. Highly customizable and really good overall. I used RIF for years, but something was lacking and I kept searching for alternatives. When I tried Joey, I never looked back.
What is interesting, tho, is that it is somehow still working. The dev is inactive on Reddit for weeks, but made a couple “bug fixes” on GitHub the last few weeks.
Use whatever you like. We interact with each other.
I thought it was obvious sarcasm, but oh well
