Lemmy - Increasing Federation (lemmi.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I’m hosting my own Lemmy instance and so far everything has been pretty smooth. However I’m noticing some issues with specific instances, communities, or comments not showing up through my own instance.

I had added instances to the allow list initially but I cleared those so that it’s wide open now. I have an account on lemm.ee and I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.

Initially I took my admin account and subscribed to all of the most popular communities I could find, but that seems to have left some holes.

Is there a way to force federation with more Lemmy instances?

Thank you for any direction you can provide.

You only receive content updates for the communities your local users are subscribed.

That being said federation has been struggling significantly since this past reddit exodus and there's time where outages of any kind might have made you lose federated content. I don't think is possible to "catch-up" all of what you have lost.

You can however per example search a port url of a remote instance to force it federate.
