How do you subscribe to a community outside of your instance without getting to it from an internal link? (readit.buzz)

I found a community on lemmy.world I'd like to join, but I can't figure out how to open it in my kbin instance so that I can subscribe to it. I tried to paste the link into the search bar, but it came up with "empty." I also tried to modify a link to a different community on lemmy.world that I had accessed via kbin, but just came up with a 404 error. Am I missing something?

(Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, I'm still getting the feel of things here.)

On desktop, hit the search icon in the top right and past the name in.

The problem people have is that I believe Lemmy uses a "!" at the start, but kbin uses an "@".

Example: @technology@lemmy.world and NOT !technology@lemmy.world

Edit:
You can also do it in the url bar like this:
https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world
