Everything works great there locally, but I can't subscribe to communities on other instances and can't see my instance from lemmy.world.

I see no setting for this in the console other than "Federation enabled" which is enabled, and allowed and blocked instances. I added lemmy.world to allowed.

For example:

!hobbit_art@hobbit.world

(If it matters, I have new user accounts disabled until I figure things out.)

Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!

I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for "!hobbit_art@hobbit.world" in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I've found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/hobbit_art@hobbit.world actually jumps me right to it.

So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!
