@Mr_Figtree I am not 100% sure what you mean by "you need to search for them and interact with those communities for your instance to start pulling in content". The URL syntax for federated communities outside of kbin is fixed to https://kbin.social/m/community@instance.tld. So https://lemmy.world/c/bogleheads should work via https://kbin.social/m/bogleheads@lemmy.world when federating properly. However it isn't even coming up in search at the moment: https://kbin.social/magazines?q=bogleheads
Perhaps something to do with the very recent lemmy.world update to 0.18.1-rc?
Oops, didn't mean to delete my comment. You get a 404 for communities that no one on your instance has interacted with yet. After you search for them using the general search (not the magazine search), e.g. https://kbin.social/search?q=personalfinance%40lemmy.world , they show up on your instance, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world .
@Mr_Figtree It's broken because of the 0.18 update as linked by Alexmitter above...
Yeah, that is a separate issue that I don't think is affecting lemmy.world right now because I am seeing content from there show up on the front page.
@Mr_Figtree I'm pretty sure this is the issue as lemmy.world just updated to 0.18. They are being "re-linked" to kbin as we speak, https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world just popped up and timestamped as created 52 minutes ago. Perhaps something with caching? No idea, it goes beyond my area of knowledge but definitely something broke just a few hrs ago.
You still see content, just not any new content from that instance from the moment it updated to 0.18, except content made by users who are on other instances that not yet have updated.
I'm browsing /newest and seeing posts from lemmy.world. The time that OP says the magazine was created on this instance matches when I did my search. I really don't think the 0.18 thing is what OP is running into (lemmy.world is running 0.18.1-rc.7).
