Subscribing to small (previously unseen by kbin) communities (kbin.social)

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?

I wonder if some of it also has to do with how federation works. Once a user visits and follows another instance the two instances start to federate. The more instances and sites of lemmy/kbin and the more users the harder it might get.

Are the communities on lemmy or kbin you are looking for?

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.
