Unable to subscribe to a community on lemmy.ml from lemmy.ca (lemmy.ca)

I have been trying to subscribe to lemmy.ml/c/apple using my account on lemmy.ca, however I get a 404 error when I visit lemmy.ca/c/apple@lemmy.ml

Other communities work fine and I'm able to subscribe. Just curious what could be the issue. Do I need to wait for the community to be made "available" on lemmy.ca?

If you're the first person on your instance to subscribe to a Community on a different instance, you need to make your instance discover the other community.

You can paste the URL or !apple@lemmy.lm in the search field on lemmy.ca, then you should be able to find it on lemmy.ca -> Communities

But looks it doesn't always work for all communities. I just tried it on reddthat.com. It worked for !apple@lemmy.ml, !askmidwest@midwest.social and !technology@midwest.social, but not for !projectzomboid@midwest.social
