Can I comment on a thread on another instance if I'm not subscribed? (sh.itjust.works)

I found an active thread in a sub on another instance I'd like to participate in. When I sub to the thread from sh.itjust.works there are no comments; I assume that's because sh.itjust.works only starts syncing communities after the first subscription. So now I can either read the thread on an instance I don't have a login for, or participate in an empty version of the thread on sh.itjust.works.

Is there any way to participate in the active thread at this point? Thanks.

edit: Just checked my subscription to the new community is [pending]. Maybe that's it?

edit2: Thanks to @Barbarian I can at least sub to one of the pending communities, and the others are on lemmy.ml, so I'll just wait those out.

Oh it's not that big a deal. I guess it sounds like I'm frustrated, but text can be like that. I'm just trying to figure some things out. And it turns out that all but one of the pending subs are on lemmy.ml, so it really is likely a server-side issue.
