Search for the community with an exclamationmark in front of it. Like this:
!support@lemmy.world
It might take a few seconds for your instance to download the community. You will only be able to see the newest posts. And comments and votes will only come over from the moment you subscribe.

Are you on desktop or using an app?

I'm on the jerboa app

I love the jerboa app. But I feel like it's the worst for searching communities. It only loads the ones that you're subscribed to you that's how they're searchable in the app.
If you're not subscribed to it it's kind of hard to find it and for it to come up. I would suggest using the boost app to look for new communities to subscribe to and then bounce back to jerboa
That's what I do

If someone has linked it like !support@lemmy.world, then all you need to do is click that link and reload the page if it gives an error (on web at least, no idea how it works with apps)
