Your instance needs to be instructed to fetch it.

E.g., by setting up a subscript' to the community, or viewing individual threads and comments.

The interesting thing here, as the other responder observed, is it's the local copy of a previously-federated community.

I would have assumed that the copies would be read-only from outside the actual instance. But it sounds like you're able to post to the copied-communities too. Lul.

That sounds like something I have no control over but the admins might

You mean the fetching?

Naw dawg. You can either subscribe to the community or search for an external link from within your instance (e.g., for a thread or comment). The former will be recurring, the latter is per-search.

It's not always an instant refresh, and sometimes it doesn't pull in everything either. Other things can disrupt this like defederation, instance-level restrictions by admins of course, or even version differences and botched updates.

But, otherwise, you should be able to force a pull yourself as well.
