How to subscribe to communities from other instances that wont load?

Hey, so, I'm trying to subscribe to a few communities from lemmy.ca such as !alberta@lemmy.ca and !calgary@lemmy.ca. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/canada@lemmy.ca works and loads properly so I was able to subscribe, but these two smaller ones just give an error 404: couldnt_find_community. I can confirm these do exist since going to the lemmy.ca version it loads properly.

I know how fediverse stuff works is that it only caches communities that a member of the community is a part of, same with other instances. So in this case, Im not sure how to get our instance to fetch the data from these smaller communities. It fetches from the larger !canada@lemmy.ca, just not the smaller ones. Is there a way to subscribe to it so that I can see the communities load properly? Not sure what exactly to do here.
