Related question: How to join a community once you found it? Asking specifically for people coming from a tiny instance.
For example, I know that https://beehaw.org/c/news is a thing. But when I try to find it, I get ‘No Results’. How do I force my instance to discover news@beehaw.org? I tried adding a bang to both strings to no avail.
Same issue with a couple other communities I found but cannot find from my home instance, which is federated to all but https://lemmygrad.ml/.
I need to manually construct these URLs, visit them, and then I can subscribe. I strongly hope this is just for a short time due to reddit migration server load.

Edit: Using this guide https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/ I was able to subscribe to a few of my pending list, using the manual method:
To view ‘https://lemmy.ml/c/cryptography’ on ‘lemmy.ca’, the URL is ‘https://lemmy.ca/c/cryptography@lemmy.ml’
