Going straight to the point: I was wondering what is the criteria for kbin to pick federated magazines (number of subscribers maybe?) and if there is a way or workaround to pull/force them into the “All magazines” list.

For example, I am interested in https://feddit.it/c/teoriamusicale, which would translate into kbin’s URL https://kbin.social/m/teoriamusicale@feddit.it. It has been created weeks ago and probably it hasn’t been picked because of lack of content. I would like to contribute to it without having to create a feddit account (I’m quite attached to my kbin one).

I’m sure many of us here had/have the same issue - how did you work around it?

EDIT: and now it’s there!.. Miracles (or @ernest’s kind intervention) :)
Anyway I think my point still stands, I guess.

    Yes, nobody subscribed to it because as @Armaell says, you can’t subscribe to a magazine that hasn’t been federated yet.

    I also hope we will see the current content here! (It’s in Italian though :D)

      Yes you can. You have to trigger the federation by entering the url to it into search (the url from the instance its on, not the kbin.social one it would have) or its exact name in the @name@instan.ce format. That’s how off-instance content gets federated. Someone needs to tell your server, it exists, and that they want it.

        Fantastic, thanks! Probably that’s why it was never picked up - I was always searching either using @feddit.it or teoriamusicale@feddit.it but never using the first @ symbol.
