I’ve got the same problem. In order to subscribe to communities from different instances I need to do it through a browser first. Only then I’m able to post using liftoff.
Are you actually looking at it from your instance? The post should say via myinstance.com at the top. I think there is someone working on making this behavior more intuitive. Also I posted this on liftoff.
I just tried it again and it’s working. Liftoff isn’t letting me interact with anything outside my instance.
