On Lemmy and Piefed, clicking on a link to a community that your home instance doesn’t know about will provide an option to do such a search. I don’t know if Mbin does that. If not, I’d manually do it.
If that doesn’t work, maybe there’s some sort of compatibility problem between current Mbin and current Lemmy.
EDIT: Or could be the client, since you say that you’re using Interstellar.
Does it not actually work or does it just show the community with no posts? The latter is a federation issue.
There is another way to link communities with the Lemmy markup code that generally works more often across different instances, but I forgot what it was. I mean, other than a normal URL anyway.
And for me, neither links work, so I’ll just say that both sides are assholes.
Your home instance, fedia.io, may not know about [email protected] yet.
You need to trigger a community search for the string “[email protected]” on your home instance, which is what makes it “discover” the community.
Fedia.io runs Mbin.

I’m never quite sure what works universally and what works solely because of the app I use. 😅
It’s literally unclickable in Interstellar - the link is gray and cannot be tapped.
