Mastodon wont federate

I have installed a Mastodon instance along with postgres and redis docker containers. I have a different LOCAL_DOMAIN (example.com) and WEB_DOMAIN (mastodon.example.com), since there are multiple services running on different docker containers behind a single nginx reverse proxy. Webfinger forward has been set up and seems to redirect when I test it with my browser. I can connect to the UI and everything seems to work, except I am unable to connect to other instances and wont find any. Are there any ports or settings I am missing to handle?

This is my docker-compose.yml:

services:
  db:
    restart: always
    image: postgres:14-alpine
    shm_size: 256mb
    networks:
      - internal_network
    healthcheck:
      test: ['CMD', 'pg_isready', '-U', 'postgres']
    volumes:
      - /var/mastodon/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
      - /var/mastodon/init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql
    environment:
      - 'POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust'

  redis:
    restart: always
    image: redis:7-alpine
    networks:
      - internal_network
    healthcheck:
      test: ['CMD', 'redis-cli', 'ping']
    volumes:
      - /var/mastodon/redis:/data

My nginx config:

}

Fixed on it’s own, the configuration is correct. It just took a veeery long time to fetch from other servers.
