Try to look up the 'full community' URL and try to press "next" or "search" again, sometimes it takes a little to federate
For example: "https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted"

That worked for one of the communities I wanted, but I can't add a different one from the same instance no matter what I do
Sometimes, you have to wait a little while for the search result to appear. I think it appears quickly if other users on this instance have already subscribed to it, since the content has been copied locally. If no one has, then it has to go look it up remotely, and I assume that that takes longer.
Do you have an example? 😉
I wanted to sub to the i2p community from that lemmy.world, now it works, but I found a different one as an example: https://lemmy.world/c/minecraft
Servers won't automatically sync up every community on a server even if it knows the server, in order to ask it to (so that it shows up in the future) you have to search the whole community name like !geddit@geddit.social then wait a minute and search again.
It's not intuitive at all, I imagine they plan on making the system better, but for now it's what has to be done by at least one person on your server for everyone to see something.
