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 [email protected]) 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?
They are on lemmy. If I try to visit them on kbin I get a 404 though, as they are not federated yet. I’m not sure how I can trigger that. Visiting the links doesn’t work, and searching for them to subscribe doesn’t work.

I can find the mod’s profile on kbin: https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]
and I know other communities on lemmy.ml work as I subscribe to the /m/[email protected] from kbin. Might need time or more posts to start the federation.
I feel like kbin in general was a bit slow a couple hours ago. Maybe you should check again now? I just accessed the first two links from kbin and can see the communities (although it doesn’t show any posts in the first and only one in the second).
Thanks for sharing these I love share the spire and subscribed to them now.
