[Help] New self-hosted instance not crawling communities (notnotlemmy.com)

Just got my own instance up and running finally, but it doesn't seem to be federating as expected.

I can search for and subscribe to communities, but unless I specifically search for the URL (e.g. selfhost@lemmy.ml) nothing shows up. I'm also making this post from my instance as well (to see if anything happens...)

Is this something I just need to wait a few hours to happen or is something incorrect.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Oh, and when I do subscribe to a community, I can only see new posts. It doesn't retrieve older posts

For micro/personal server runners, I built a tool to automatically discover and add communities to your local instance :)

Do you know how much data is put onto the local device when subscribing to all these communities? Ballpark is it in the MBs? GBs?

Trying to determine whether discovering things I don't want is worth it

My personal instance of about:
