How do I subscribe to/view content that hasn't been added to Kbin yet? (kbin.social)

I haven't figured out how to view new content through kbin which hasn't been "added" yet.

If I go to "kbin.social/d/mastodon.social" I can view posts from that Mastodon instance.

But if I go to, say, "kbin.social/d/seafoam.space" it doesn't work.

I've tried:

Searching for the urls (website.example, https://website.example) in the search bar
Appending "!" and "@" (!website.example, @website.example)
Searching for specific users, including with prefixes ([email protected], @[email protected], [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]))
Adding the kbin URL to the previous examples
(kbin.social/d/@website.example .../m/@website.example .../d/website.example)
Etc etc

I'm probably doing something completely wrong but I can't seem to get Kbin to pick up on new content it hasn't seen before.

Yeah I receive the same error messages.

On a similar note some posts/profiles/instances that are federating don't always show up.

Searching for this post for example
https://wandering.shop/@rosemarymosco/110816590584504755
Shows no results when using the URL or full user string @[email protected]

However, manually entering the complete URL into the address bar kbin.social/u/@[email protected] will show the profile correctly as well as the post that we were just searching for
