This is so helpful, thank you!
“does this post have 0 comments and 0 upvotes and was just posted?”
Send it to the top of everybody’s front page no matter their sorting.
Ahh, it this why I can’t sub to something like a nsfw pawb.social community if I have a throwaway on lemmy.nsfw, since they might not be federated?
Federation happens automatically when a user types the remote community into their instance’s search page.
Try putting this into your instance’s search page, including the exclamation mark:
!transformation@pawb.socialIt might take a couple of seconds or require a page refresh, but it should then show up no-probs. If no one on your instance does this, you will never be able to see that content on your instance.
Edit: PEBCAC
Yeah, I just think something like!furryws@pawb.socialdoesn’t instance with lemmy.nsfw, so the two will never connect :/Why wouldn’t it? I can access it from my Yiffit instance.
Edit: Can you load this link while being logged in to lemmynsfw? https://lemmynsfw.com/search/q/!furryws%40pawb.social/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
You might be right but I don’t know why it doesn’t show up. Neither instance blocks each other. Maybe it shows up if you’re logged in though.
Disregard, I’m just a moron, lol. I was searching in the communities search bar. You search the general bar. I’m in now xD
Good chart, helps with understanding a bit more 👍
This is good to know. I have thought about self hosting my own instance for the fun of it, and to learn how it works, but it looks like the experience won’t be as complete if I like to browse through threads from communities I’m not subscribed to (like I would have browsed through All on reddit).
Yes, but there’s something you can do. Create a secondary “utility user” called @discovery or whatever you want. And use that user to subscribe to any even remotely popular remote communities.
You can make the whole process much easier with this workflow described here: https://ttrpg.network/comment/35
I’m in the same boat. Having a small instance for me and my friends might create an echo chamber, at least initially. My current strategy is to browse all on kbin and sdf’s Lemmy and find interesting communities to subscribe to.
This does cause an issue of duplicate communities though – pawb.social has tech but so do other Lemmy instances. I have not found a good way to group them and de-dup them yet.
@Wander This post reached meow.social, a Mastodon server
Yes, it seemingly does so. I wonder why pawb won’t show the other two comments though.
Pawb is showing 2 comments from TerrorBite, but I can’t confirm whether or not they were showing before he made the second one.
Weirdly, I can’t seem to reply directly to etiher of TerrorBite’s comments; I just get the spinner forever on hitting Reply.
There’s also two other comments from lemmy.world users. I suspect both things are related.
The community has “undetermined” language disabled. That’s why those comments don’t show up and why you can’t reply to terrorbite unless you set your comment’s language to English
I can see the lemmy.world comments; I don’t think I could before personally interacting with the post, though. That’s good to know re: setting the language to English to reply.
Ah yes, they show up now. Regarding setting the language to English, this is not necessary if the creator of the community selects “Undetermined” language in the community settings. It is a bug, but it can be circumvented by having communities allow Undetermined language.
Does kbin / kbin.social provide a local tab? I think it’d be cool to be able to just see stuff from one’s own instance, but I haven’t seen anything like that here
On the top right, you can change federation settings. https://i.imgur.com/efhcxLG.png
I’m not sure this is what I’m looking for. I don’t want to turn off federation, I just want to be able to read stuff just on my home server without all the clutter sometimes (it might be the same thing, I don’t know)
I’m not sure it does. But it’ll likely be implemented soon if it doesn’t yet.
