Not seeing posts in subs from other instances--Where's the problem? (ttrpg.network)

Basically what I said. This is the latest episode in the main speedbump I keep hitting with lemmy.

I'm trying to follow broadly when new TTRPG instances crop up. (DIYRPG.org is the latest I know of, and the one I'm currently having trouble with.) When I navigate to the communities from my ttrpg.network account, I can't see any of the existing posts.

So is the problem on this end (ttrpg.network isn't asking for the content) or their end (diyrpg.org isn't sending the content)? And is there anything I can do about it?

If this can't work smoothly, I'd at least like to know how it works.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but you can kind of force a sync by using the search option.

example

I just put the url from a part over there https://diyrpg.org/post/246 in the search box in our insurance and it started showing up here (without any of the comments)
Presumably, older comments could be synced manually with a link too, but that sounds like a lot of work and I haven't tried it.
If there a specific comment you wanna interact with is not too bad, don't this manually for all comments doesn't sound fun.
I think there might be browser extensions to "open this in your preferred instance" but I haven't tried any.

Silver lining is that stuff that happens after you first added the community should be more seamless.
