The lists in the dropdown in the screenshot are pulled directly from your MailChimp account so if you don’t see your list audience there, make sure MailChimp is correctly setup.
Things to know: If your audience list shows up in the dropdown, but you still cannot subscribe from your website, make sure your list’s settings do not requires First Name and Last Name in the Audience fields and *|MERGE|* tags. See screenshot: https://d.pr/i/MYGvUn
