Community content on another instance not populating? (lemmy.ml)

So I just downloaded Liftoff and found a couple of communities on an instance I'd never heard of before, and I decided that I wanted to subscribe to them on my lemmy.ml profile. We are federated, and when I view the communities through the main instance I see a bunch of posts and subscribers, but when I try to view them through lemmy.ml it says there is 1 subscriber (me) and no posts. I tested this on my mobile browser. Jerboa, and Liftoff all with the same result.

Is this one of those cases where it's a bug and will sort itself out, or am I doing something wrong? I don't wanna miss out potentially cool communities if they just aren't coming up for me

I tried searching for a post link in my instances search and nothing came up. I've had this issue with jerboa too, and I think in the browser, where I try to do !community@instance.ee or whatever and it won't come up, it almost never works for me. but if I type the name of the instance simply, it will populate. I must be doin something funky
