Can't see some communities from other instances (infosec.pub)

Hi, I'm new to lemmy, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I made an account via infosec.pub. When I display All communities there, I see e.g. communities from lemmy.ml, but not for example !sverige@lemmy.helvetet.eu

How do I subscribe to those communities via infosec.pub?

Thanks for the info here, I was experiencing a similar issue and I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong. With this being the case (server not showing results until someone has already linked the servers by subscribing, if I'm understanding that right) is there a good or best-practices way for users to discover new communities across the Lemmy platform? Or should we just trawl through the different servers?

In addition, I've joined a couple of communities from other servers, but I only seem to be seeing a very small subset of their posts, is this again just from my server not yet being linked and maybe needing time to propagate the data?
