The first time federation is a bit slow in the beginning.
Since I don't know any better place to ask and I also setup my instance on Hetzner maybe some of you could provide me with some input regarding federation. I'm able to search new communities; the way I'm doing it right now is by searching for their handler (this !comunnityName@InstanceName thing) on my instance. For some reason if I haven't searched for the community before no search results show up but I can switch to the community all list and see the community there. After subscribing to a community everything works nicely, I see posts, comments everything.
But my main question is, if there is a way to federate a server (e.g. lemmy.ml
) in a way that I can just click on communities on my server and see every community on the federated servers without having to manually search them first?
This is something that I wasn't able to grasp from reading the lemmy docs and also didn't found a satisfying answer to when googleing.
Might be because the average Linux user is way more aware of how useful a crash report can be and therefore actually submitted them. At least most Linux users I know actually read error/ crash messages and not just call someone saying there was some pop-up, I just clicked ok and the game was gone.
