It works fine if I am using a lemmy.world based account, but for other instances it isn't working. It is not just for me either, other users are reporting the same thing. What can I do to fix this?

Excellent! Thanks so much, this is precisely what I needed to learn!

The above advice isn't perfect - in general, use Search first.

Until the first person searches for a community on your instance, your instance doesn't know about it and the URL won't work. Searching (usually using the !community@instance.com form) should always work.

Equally, your instance doesn't start pulling data on a community (messages etc.) until someone subscribes to it, and then when subscribed it will sometimes take a a few hours to get it all (it should immediately start getting new posts and comments).

Excellent! Thanks so much for the info, this clears things up. I appreciate it.
