How do I subscribe to communities on other instances that no one has subscribed to yet? (programming.dev)

I've tried solutions explained here and here. I am trying to subscribe to some communities on the TTRPG Network. Am I missing something?

Using the manual URL worked best I think. The other approach (!community@instance) never seemed to load.

I do have a follow up question though, why do these posts look so different on each instance? Do we only get new content going forward I suppose? The post itself is from before I subscribed so old posts seem to come in, I guess maybe not old comments though?

Yeah theres some shenanigans with the federation. Dont know what exactly causes it but probably something with other servers not federating fully with us yet due to not much interact between the two instances
