API is not sending messages when user/community is created

[lazyguru]

The API service is not sending messages to the federation service via RabbitMQ when a user or community is created. This can be seen by starting up the docker containers and logging into the RabbitMQ dashboard and looking at the federation database and docker logs. No errors are reported by the federation service. No messages appear in RabbitMQ. As far as I can tell, the API is not even attempting to send messages.

Steps to reproduce

• Start API service
• Start docker containers (API_HOST=host.docker.internal docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.backend.yml up)
• Wait for seeder container to start creating users (Or you can just manually make an API call to register a user)

There is code in the user/community creation flow that is supposed to send messages

You can see that the API is connected to the queues, it just isn't sending messages.
