Search from your instance for !community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.

For example from your instance search for:

Awesome thanks, it works after trying the version with the ! at the beginning (as opposed to just community-name@instance-name). Next time it happens, I will try with the full URL and see if that works as well.

So I think sometimes you need to do both in that order for it to load in another instance (if no one else has done that before for a particular community between the 2 instances):

First search for it using [email protected] then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/[email protected]

Not the most intuitive but it works for me

Yes, I’ve found for searching on other instances the ! short hand works best.
