Unable to subscribe to a community on lemmy.ml from lemmy.ca (lemmy.ca)

I have been trying to subscribe to lemmy.ml/c/apple using my account on lemmy.ca, however I get a 404 error when I visit lemmy.ca/c/[email protected]

Other communities work fine and I'm able to subscribe. Just curious what could be the issue. Do I need to wait for the community to be made "available" on lemmy.ca?

I’ve been having the same issue with http://lemmy.world/c/hackintosh - and still having it with http://lemmy.ml/c/apple - guess I’ll just keep trying.

If you're the first person on your instance to subscribe to a Community on a different instance, you need to make your instance discover the other community.

You can paste the URL or [email protected] in the search field on lemmy.ca, then you should be able to find it on lemmy.ca -> Communities

But looks it doesn't always work for all communities. I just tried it on reddthat.com. It worked for [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected], but not for [email protected]

Thank you, searching for the full community URL "https://lemmy.ml/c/apple" here "https://lemmy.ca/search" helped the server discover the community and I was able to subscribe
