Hello all,

I am trying to understand what I need to do to ensure that my Lemmy instance can be federated, found, and usable with other instances and users.

Currently, the issues I’m running into are:

  • If I search for my own user@myInstance.tld from any other instance, nothing comes up.

  • When I try to add my instance to FediDB.org, it shows that my “Instance is invalid, unreachable or unavailable.”

  • When I subscribe to other communities from my instance, I am seeing posts, but no comments appear at all. I have verified that those same threads appear on the instance that they are generated on. (My understanding is that I should be able to see these comments and be able to respond to them)

  • All of the other communities that I have attempted to subscribe to are showing “Subscribe Pending”, but the 2 communities that I’ve created on my instance are obviously showing as Joined.

I know I’m asking a lot, but it seems to me that obviously something is misconfigured, or I’m using Lemmy wrong.

What am I doing wrong? I can post configs if needed.-

        can your instance still see mine and post to it? Asking because I haven’t gotten any new posts in 24 hours when I know those same remote communities have newer content than that. Additionally, I can’t see any comments that have previously been made…and my comments still don’t sync and show up in the original posts feed.
