How do you access a community from another instance that isn't already "indexed"? (beehaw.org)

From what I understand, in order for you to be able to see a community from another instance, it has to have been looked at by someone else from your instance, or something like that? But I'm not sure how it works.

For example, I've been trying to get to lemmy.world/c/geometrydash from here, but it doesn't show up in search (I'm using jerboa), and going to the url beehaw.org/c/[email protected] doesn't seem to work. So, how does it work?

At this point it seems that being in a more popular instance is generally better because most of those connections will already be there.

Edit: well it worked magically now (with that you said below) soo 🤷
