Does the first time federation take forever? I’ve already imported my subs. Thanks!

When you subscribe to a community, you only start receiving data from that point on. It doesn't go and download the history, that'd be very resource intensive on the remote instance. Thus it fetches a handful of posts, and no comments as a preview of the community, and after a couple days of activity is looks mostly normal.

So I just watch the posts and wait for comments to show up?

Yes. Data starts flowing in after you hit the subscribe button.
