It's a small instance with fairly low activity (322 monthly active users reported). [edit: excluding this one] The only two local magazines I know with semi-consistent activity and >100 subs are @floatingisfun@fedia.io and @firefox@fedia.io and even the latter seems to be only sporadically active right now. The head mod of the former mag (hitstun) has done some cool local CSS stuff though!

The thing about federation is that you can subscribe just fine to communities on remote instances, so that's where you'll probably end up getting most of your feed from.
