I noticed that not all magazines of federated (Lemmy) instances show up in search. So is there a way to open them anyway in Mbin and trigger fetching of content?
I already tried to open the /m/magazine@federated.instance URL directly but it only returns a 404.

I’ll need to double check for Mbin, but for Lemmy:
- a community doesn’t start federating to an instance until someone from that other instance tries to access it (in the same way you described)
- once someone does that, it starts federating and takes a few seconds to a few minutes to show up
Assuming mbin is the same, you could check back in a few minutes?

Yes, Mbin is basically the same.
All you need to do is search the magazine in the global (non-magazine) search field, and then subscribe to it and activity from then on will start federating.
