For future reference, that’s exactly it.
to find a federated community that no one else has searched for, you need to go to the searchpage on your instance, like: https://lemmy.ml/search then search for the whole URL, like: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds
then it should show up.
Although I’ve had it that the search page needed a reload and that it first showed no results and after that switched to the found community.
You should search the url (https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds) in lemmy.ml site to let lemmy.ml fetch the community. I know it should work with accessing directly to the url but not working right now.

Lemmy seems really janky when it comes to this
So far Lemmy seems pretty jank in general
That’s still seems not to fix anything.
Like try it with https://lemmynsfw.com/c/gonewild.
https://lemmy.ml/c/gonewild@lemmynsfw.com doesn’t do anything either.
Something seems broken or blocked.
lemmynsfw.com is blocked by lemmy.ml
