I fed this output:

https://lemmy-federate.com/api/community.find?input=%7B%22skip%22%3A0%2C%22take%22%3A10%7D

Into json_pp | grep name, and got:

"name" : "science_memes",
               "name" : "al_gore",
               "name" : "applied_paranoia",
               "name" : "windowmanagers",
               "name" : "hihihi",
               "name" : "media_reviews",
               "name" : "petits_animaux",
               "name" : "twnw",
               "name" : "niagaraonthelake",
               "name" : "niagarafalls",

That’s it. There are no more names. Inspecting the dataset seems to show a lot of communities, but only their number. Is there a separate table that maps community numbers to names?
