Not federating? (readit.buzz)

From kbin.social, almost nothing is populating from readit.buzz - there's only one community appearing when searching magazines there using "@readit.buzz"

What's going on there? Just technical issues with syncing? Having no problem seeing all sorts of content from other instances through readit.buzz, just not the other wy around

brand new here, how do I find stuff from other instances? trying to sub to kbin.social/m/DwarfFortress and can't seem to get it to come up

Looks like /m/DwarfFortress@kbin.social is populating here now

with some helpful suggestions from @Lells I was able to find and subscribe to it. Searching via magazine page didn't work but using the full @DwarfFortress from the main search page was able to find it.

Search is basically limited to what's already federated to or hosted on this server. However if you go find the community you're interested on another server you can look for it from here with a full "path" and it will start federation to this server.

When you get the name on another server, it might look like one of the following (could be Kbin or Lemmy. I don't know if this Lemmy group even exists):

https://kbin.social/m/dwarffortress
/m/dwarffortress@kbin.social
https://lemmy.world/c/dwarffortress
/c/dwarffortress@lemmy.world
@dwarffortress@kbin.social
[!dwarffortress@lemmy.world](/c/dwarffortress@lemmy.world)
dwarffortress@kbin.social (not common)
dwarffortress@lemmy.world (not common)

In Kbin you would search for these as:

@dwarffortress@kbin.social
@dwarffortress@lemmy.world

In Lemmy they would be searched for as:

[!dwarffortress@kbin.social](/c/dwarffortress@kbin.social)
[!dwarffortress@lemmy.world](/c/dwarffortress@lemmy.world)

Keep in mind that the following apply:

your server has to have not blocked federation from the sever hosting the group
the server hosting the group has to have not blocked federation from your server
if your server has never federated with the other instance before it will say nothing was found, but silently start the federation process in the background. Once it has federated (no visible indication, time to do so is based on server load), the group will show up in search results

EDIT: add quoting to block autolinking full text
EDIT2: Clarify federation is opt-out
