@ernest I guess the other question, what determines an abandoned magazine? Will there be contact to the current owner to make a final decision?

How do we add the "related magazines" as well on the sidebar panel? How does that portion work?

You posted this on the /m/kbinMeta on kbin.social from your instance. So you're right in the fact that when you search it does only show the local ones. As your instance starts federation by users and interactions, things should pick up a little. Then users on your instance will soon start to see content and make magazines and groups there too.
Tags are a way to help spread the microblog or thread type into the fediverse and searchable as well. While on mastodon, I can see a microblog or thread post type of article, link, etc, it'll show the tags, but the posts do not appear in the same tagged way a post from mastodon with a tag does. I think this is a bug for now.
If you are on a Mastodon instance and follow a kbin.social user for example, you will see their posts and comments to on kbin and can interact still on the same thread in kbin for example.
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 think this would be the best too. Just like when you see a post thread and it says "This is federated, click the instance to see more", change the Owner to the root instance level or link to the community/magazine of the federated content.
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?

I like that part too. Makes you engage in the conversation already going and add your own comments to that, rather than repeating the same answer over and over.
I know some folks have used RSS for many things on user accounts as well. Sometimes there could be a reason you cant subscribe to a user or magazine and RSS is a way around that. I subscribe to my mastodon rss feed just for fun too.
using the RSS feed you could link it to a blog or personal website as well and share your posts in a way to others who may not be on the same site as you. Like sharing your posts on your websites so others can see on your site what it is you post so they dont have to have an account as well on kbin for example.
Or you can get a RSS firehose of accounts together to keep up on things outside of the community to ensure you dont miss something in your /m/sub feed.
I run a PiHole and have Quad9 as the upstream resolver instead of the ISP. That was pretty simple to setup as well. You can also do DNS-over-HTTPs and other options as well for content filtering to block malware and items of DNS upstream.
