List/find popular communities #86

A way to do a "general search" for communities, and arrange them by active users, subscribers, and all those metrics.

Lemmy-UI has this with the "Communities" tab, where one can search between local, subscribed, and "all" communities.

Tentatively slating for 1.1, if the web interface does it we should be able to implement it here

I'd love to help with this as well.

Maybe a "Browse communities" button in the Search tab to navigate to a new page with communities sorted by popularity like the web UI (and with the subscribed / local / all filters)?

I'd probably show just the subscribers to keep it simple on mobile though (ignoring "users / month"), and reuse the existing community cells from the app.

I think we should show the most popular communities in the search tab when no search term is entered. Currently, we show recent searches in this case - instead, we could show recent searches only when the search bar is focused.
