Can I comment on a thread on another instance if I'm not subscribed? (self.main)

I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I'd like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that's because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don't have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.

Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.

edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that's it?

edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I'll just wait those out.

I'm doing it right now :)

Can you explain how you do it? When I go to the thread on another instance, it says I'm not logged in and can't comment.

I cannot. I've set up a feed and when I go to a thread I just click in the text box and start typing. Might be something to do with your instance?

Hmm, well I'll keep hacking away at it
