If I go to https://kbin.social/m/blender, I can see a number of posts and a large number of subscribers. When I look at the same (?) community through lemmy.fmhy I get just an empty community (https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/blender@kbin.social). Not sure if this is expected or if I'm misunderstanding something about how this whole thing is suppose to work, but it seems wrong ๐Ÿ˜…

It's supposed to be seamless, but there can be issues in federation between Lemmy and kbin. I log into Lemmy and have a number of subscriptions to kbin magazines. I've found it to be less than perfectly reliable. Consider they're two different platforms with two different teams. Development is running at a quick pace making it more likely for something to break. If that happens they're not always directly aware of issues between them.

Also instances don't synchronize all content between all instances. They do it on demand so if you're the first one on that particular instance to subscribe to a particular remote community then the instance will start federating content at that point.

AFAIK Kbin -> Lemmy only synchronizes new content. While they're both on the fediverse, they don't have direct support, so it's a bit finnicky.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !blender@kbin.social).

It doesn't synchronize old posts (or so I've been told), so new posts should get synchronized, but the old ones won't.
