What specifically do you control? Just keyword (and "Communities:"
part is locked?) or anything after q= or anything that allows multiple
variables?

Because if you could isolate search value, you could use for example
facet.prefix, set in solrconfig as a default parameter and populated
from the same variable as the Communities search.

You may also want to set facet.mincount=1 in solrconfig.xml to avoid
0-value facets in general:
