Not sure if this is the forums for this. Just requesting to Federate. It looks like you run a busy board so I understand if this is a big ask at the moment.
You must log in or # to comment.
I think it is done automatically when someone subscribes to a lemmy.ninja community? Pretty sure you don’t have to request it, plus it’s on the lemmy.world instance list already
How do you subscribe to an outside community if it doesn’t show up in the search? I have tried entering the /c/[email protected] into the URL bar but it seems to just 404.
From what I saw, put the
!community@instanceinto search, click search and wait. The search button will stop spinning first, then a few seconds later the community should pop upSearch from your instance for
!community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.For example from your instance search for:
Awesome thanks, it works after trying the version with the
!at the beginning (as opposed to justcommunity-name@instance-name). Next time it happens, I will try with the full URL and see if that works as well.Yes, I’ve found for searching on other instances the ! short hand works best.
So I think sometimes you need to do both in that order for it to load in another instance (if no one else has done that before for a particular community between the 2 instances):
First search for it using [email protected] then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/[email protected]
Not the most intuitive but it works for me
You don’t need to request it, just copy-paste the link to a community on another instance, put it in your instance’s search bar, and wait until you see the instance appear beneath the search results.
Then you can go into your communities list and subscribe. That’s it!
It’s automatic. Just subscribe to a bunch of communities on lemmy.world and other “big” instances from your instance. Once you do that, Federation will happen.
Search from your instance for
!community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.The search could take 5-10 seconds so be patient.
I think it will federate automatically if someone on one side tries to subscribe to or post on a community on the other side.
We are officially federated. 🙌
