How do you subscribe to a community outside of your instance without getting to it from an internal link? (readit.buzz)

I found a community on lemmy.world I'd like to join, but I can't figure out how to open it in my kbin instance so that I can subscribe to it. I tried to paste the link into the search bar, but it came up with "empty." I also tried to modify a link to a different community on lemmy.world that I had accessed via kbin, but just came up with a 404 error. Am I missing something?

(Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, I'm still getting the feel of things here.)

Yeah, I assumed it just needed to sync, but wasn't sure because I'm definitely not the first person on my instance to sync with lemmy.world and didn't know if magazines synced independently from each other.

Interestingly, I subscribed to two magazines on that instance yesterday, and one of them is no longer empty while the other still is, 20+ hours later (and it does have posts when viewed through lemmy.world, just not through my kbin instance). Certainly takes its time, lol.

Hrm, that's weird. Do yo have any settings enabled that might hide content, like NSFW? Otherwise, I'd send a quick message to the admin. They're super swamped, but if you could summarize the problem in 1-2 sentences, you might get a quick reply.
