Is there a way to improve Federation rate? (kbin.social)

I mod a Magazine here in kbin.social, over the past couple of days I noticed that it wasn't available over on lemmy.world nor is it searchable from Mastodon. Today I noticed that the Magazine is now searchable from lemmy.world though none of the posts are synced. It's not available on Mastodon yet, nor is it at fedia.io. Manually searching for it for example as fedia.io/m/[email protected] yields a 404 error.

I've also tried of inputing the direct url to the mag at various Federated site internal search bars to no luck. Anything that can be done to improve Federation rate?

Lemmy has a bug where when you search it won't show any results at first, and then 10 seconds later it'll show your magazine. Are you waiting 10+ seconds?

I did, the Magazine now shows up but posts aren't syncing completely. Yesterday, no posts were showing up over at lemmy.world. Today, there's a few, but there are also posts on the Mag from Lemmy that aren't here in Kbin. Not sure how to moderate those.

Content from before you subscribe is not sent, only from that point onwards (unless someone else on the same server already subscribed to it).

It appears there's some truth to this. Threads from Kbin after the Magazine started appearing in Lemmy are now showing up there correctly, if after a bit. Even one I posted a day before the Magazine was available there. However, there are still posts from Lemmy to the Magazine I moderate that are not showing in Kbin, I have no way of moderating them. This is creating issues since there are duplicate posts (it seems to be a bot reposting threads from Reddit).

Another thing to bear in mind is that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are totally overloaded at present. While their UI might function Ok, behind the scenes there are queues of content to be sent out to other servers that get pretty choked up.
