Error trying to find a community (lemmy.one)

I'm trying to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from lemmy.one but it just won't show up and lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social says 404 community not found when I'm able to find it on my Midwest.social account any help?

@Percy It's not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it's not yet turning up in a search.

Basically the format is like this

mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can't test this one)

https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

This doesn't work in my experience (although I wish it did). The only reliable way I've seen to trigger a fetch is to enter the community URL (e.g. https://midwest.social/c/projectzomboid) or the ID (e.g. [!projectzomboid@midwest.social](/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social)) in your Lemmy instance's /search page.
