You subscribe the group by hitting 'u', I suppose?

Gnus will by default only show you groups with unread messages in
them. Try hitting 'L' (gnus-group-list-all-groups) in the group
buffer. You can make groups permanently visible in various ways. The
easiest is to hit 'G c' (gnus-group-customize) over the group and select
"Permanently visible".
