    Ahh, is this why I can’t sub to something like a nsfw pawb.social community if I have a throwaway on lemmy.nsfw, since they might not be federated?

      Federation happens automatically when a user types the remote community into their instance’s search page.

      Try putting this into your instance’s search page, including the exclamation mark: !transformation@pawb.social

      It might take a couple of seconds or require a page refresh, but it should then show up no-probs. If no one on your instance does this, you will never be able to see that content on your instance.
