Try searching for the community explicitly -- e.g. community@example.com -- that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

It's been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I'm remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

    I'm putting the entire URL of the community onto the search bar, but the server's taking too long to respond.

    If that doesn't work when you try again later, then try searching in the community@example.com format specifically, and also try searching for the URL of a specific post -- that might get it to federate the post and then you should be to access the magazine from that if it succeeds.

    If that still doesn't work, message the admin of your instance and ask them for help.

    Good luck.
