After almost a year of hard work implementing ActivityPub support on Lemmy, it is finally done! Anything that works here on dev.lemmy.ml, also works over federation between different instances (with one notable exception, community mods have to be on the same instance as the community for now).
Before we consider federation ready for production, some more testing is needed. And that’s where you come in: go to our test instances enterprise.lemmy.ml, ds9.lemmy.ml and voyager.lemmy.ml, and try things like:
- post, comment and vote
- delete and restore posts/comments
- send private messages
- create communities, remove/restore posts and ban/unban users
- setup your own lemmy instance, and federate with enterprise.lemmy.ml or ds9.lemmy.ml
If you notice any bugs, please report them on Github, as comments on this post, or in our Dev Chat on Matrix. Please keep in mind that our code of conduct also applies to the test instances.
The more you test, the sooner we will feel confident to enable federation on dev.lemmy.ml. Happy testing!
Is there any way that one day Lemmy could work with Yunohost? It would likely be the fastest way to get more servers up and running for non-technical users. It makes setting up services almost a point and click affair once the initial Yunohost server is installed.

No idea, best ask them. We are busy with development and dont have the time to package Lemmy for all kinds of distros.
