How do I subscribe to a community outside my instance? (beehaw.org)

Hi. I've subscribed to several communities outside my instance already, but I'm having a problem where I can't seem to repeat the process for certain communities.

For example, I wanted to go to /c/test on lemmy.ml. But going to lemmy.ml/c/test takes me outside of Beehaw, my home instance, so I can't post or subscribe from there. So I checked how I could visit this community, and its URL is https://beehaw.org/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. I then tried going to https://beehaw.org/c/test@lemmy.ml, but that gives me an error page.

What do? I can't find /c/test on the communities page, either.

Apologies if I'm being dumb.

Had the same problem, had some success with some of the other suggestions. My last resort (which also does not always work) is the manual approach:

To view ‘https://lemmy.ml/c/cryptography’ on ‘lemmy.ca’ (replace with your home instance), the URL is ‘https://lemmy.ca/c/cryptography@lemmy.ml’. Once there, you can hit the community's subscribe button, bypassing the search altogether.
