How does this work on kbin at the moment?

My understanding is that, at least on Lemmy, you should be able to search for a full community name, wait a while, and have it show up and start federating. I’ve been searching for two communities (in the format name@instance.tld) on kbin since yesterday and it still shows no matches.

Both are small (<20 subscribers) and currently inactive (no new posts in a week). Do I need to wait until there is new content in them?

    The community on kbin (i.e the federated version) was created 3 days ago, I don’t think posts older than that are ever going to be visible on kbin.

      They will be if someone who can see those posts boosts them.

      That’s what boosting does. It republishes posts so that newer users can see them, too.
