Hello!
@danQuix0te sorry, I shouldn't have deleted my comment. Still trying to get the time thing sorted out.
No worries! All tests welcome in this thread. Do you think it's your server host? What's the output of the "date" command?
I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!
It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.
UTC now. Am I still the ghost of federation's past?
Edit: seems so?
One more try. I sure hope you don't have notifications enabled for all replies...
Edit: well now I'm stumped

Woo, successful testing, yeah!

I can see you from kbin.social.
Can see you from my local instance :)
@danQuix0te
I see it from over here in Mastodon land. Interestingly, all the timestamps look ok from here.
Edit: guess I'm testing editing to correct a typo. :dancing_panda:
seeing this over at kbin.cafe
I'm taking this opportunity to test my timezone config
I see 5 hours ago. That's interesting that it would put a timestamp before the thread was posted.

How did you do it. I can't find other instances (almost none) on my instance.
A new instance doesn't federate on its own. It needs to discover the other servers. Use something like https://lemmyverse.net/ to make links with your home server and visit the other instances. Subscribe to a few and you'll start getting those posts.
I have allot of them now. But i cant find anything..
Do you see your instance on https://lemmy.world/instances or other servers /instances? That's typically a good sign that your server is federated.
