That's where I'm at with my self hosted, trying to figure out how to federate with other instances. Was there a writeup you were able to follow?
To get other instances' content in your instance go to browse.feddit.de and find some communities you want to follow. Copy their URL, then go to your search on your instance and paste the URL, give it a few seconds to find it (this is a bit buggy in my experience, sometimes you have to try a few times, click to a different page then go back to the search somtimes), then click on it and click subscribe. I recommend you do this to a lot of communities so you can start seeing a lot of stuff in your instance's "all" section, I subscribed to multiple dozens of communities.
To get your instance searchable from others, create an account on lemmy.ml or any of the other large ones and then subscribe to your own communities. Once I did that, a day or two later I saw 1337lemmy.com pop up in browse.feddit.de.
