Are posts supposed to escape to Mastodon/Misskey etc? (fedia.io)

While there have been obvious problems with posts leaving/arriving on fedia.io I haven't bothered to ask but it seems slightly more reliable for posts from outside to arrive on fedia.io so maybe it's time to ask.
I haven't seen a fedia.io sourced post make it to my accounts on ohai.social, misskey.io or calckey.social so I'm wondering if that direction has a blockage or configuration error? They sometimes make it to lemmy.world but I'm trying to read the magazine there rather than relying on a hashtag that I follow.

Following magazines doesn't work currently, I think that's a known bug (or not implemented feature).
It will only pick up hashtags from accounts that are being followed by accounts here (and in theory on other kbin instances, although I'm not convinced the magazine hashtags federate)
There seems to be issues following certain account, if it's set as a bot kbin won't even see it, and I suspect there are other causes of this too (maybe follower approval?)
