Based on this comment:

There are some anomalies in the federation between Lemmy and NodeBB. In the past, I noticed that Lemmy only federated communities/categories where at least one Lemmy user had started a conversation. Yes, I know it seems like magic, but I imagine there is a reason for it…

If what the comment said is accurate, it would be an issue if I want to subscribe to a category where I"m not supposed to create a new topic.

just paste the NodeBB URL into Lemmy's search like https://linux-nerds.org/category/8/linux

Not sure if you can pull individual posts, you might have to be subscribed before the post is made in order to see it.

    My guess is that I couldn’t see them because the OPs are from Mastodon-like accounts.

    This might be the reason. Lemmy has limited support for Mastodon-style Note objects as top-level posts.
