How long does it for a new instance to start federating? (self.lemmy_support)

I recently setup a new instance and have federation enabled. I tested with the curl command and its returning a proper JSON response. How long does it typically take for an instance to start federating with others?

while logged into your new instance have you searched for communities on other instances? That seemed to jump-start the process on my instance. You can also check the "instances" link on the bottom of the page to see what other instances you're federated with.

Yes i started doing this and the instances have solely been growing. Just took longer than i had originally anticipated
