Hi all, I’m very new to this fediverse thing!
I’ve recently setup my own instance of Lemmy which I’ve called “CompuVerse”.
This seems to be going quite well, the instance is setup, I seem to be able to view content from other instances and even comment and such!
However, I’m noticing a few oddities. I’m not sure if I’m just misunderstanding something about how the fediverse works, but I don’t seem to be able to see my comments and posts from other instances.
For example:
lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/u/[email protected]
Shows no content for my account
beehaw: https://beehaw.org/u/[email protected]
Shows comments, but no posts
However, if I view other users’ profiles from my own instance, I can see both their posts and comments.
Is this normal or have I managed to mess something up with federation?
Scratch that, upon making this post I’ve realised what’s happening.
It would appear that I can’t see any content that I posted to my own instance from other instances such as lemmy.ml and beehaw.
Does anyone have any tips at all?
Much appreciated,
Cameron
From what I understand, your community will only be synced to instances where at least one ist has subscribed to it. Until then only your insurance knows about it.
