Yes, this doesn't make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn't how it works, I don't see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn't have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn't appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)
