Friends tab has numbers showing how many lan games are available, but it says “Your friends are not playing Minecraft right now.” So I’m guessing I can only join from invites, but not having xbox live doesn’t let you use invites to play lan games.

Probably same issue as BDS-1634, which was filed against the Bedrock Dedicated Server. But I think it makes more sense to log it against MCPE, as this is probably a "client" issue, rather than a "server" issue.
If the issue is ongoing, please update the Affected Version/s field. Also, please attach a screenshot/picture of the friends tab.
I would recommend you ask about this issue on Community Support. If it's a technical issue or related to settings they may be able to help.

Forgot to put that it only happens when you don’t have Xbox live
