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.
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?

Yeah, I just think something like!furryws@pawb.socialdoesn’t instance with lemmy.nsfw, so the two will never connect :/Why wouldn’t it? I can access it from my Yiffit instance.
Edit: Can you load this link while being logged in to lemmynsfw? https://lemmynsfw.com/search/q/!furryws%40pawb.social/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
You might be right but I don’t know why it doesn’t show up. Neither instance blocks each other. Maybe it shows up if you’re logged in though.
Disregard, I’m just a moron, lol. I was searching in the communities search bar. You search the general bar. I’m in now xD
