Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.

For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:

  • Let us know either on !lemmy_instances, or commenting here.
  • We’ll add you to our allowlist.
  • Add this block to your server’s lemmy.hjson config (for open federation):
federation: {
  enabled: true
  tls_enabled: true
  # allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
  • Type !announcements@lemmy.ml into your server’s search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.

    This is great! I read there will also be federation amongst the entire fediverse soon. What exactly does this look like? Being able to sign in with mastodon accounts or?

      No, it means that it will be possible to view and comment on Lemmy posts directly from Mastodon. But don’t expect that to work anytime soon.

        ah ok, makes sense.

        P.S. I know this isn’t the place to do this but any chance we can get ctrl + Enter to submit a post

          I think we have an issue for this (might be closed, too lazy to search it).

            test EDIT: just searched through the github and the issue that asks for the feature mentions that its possible to submit by pressing tab + enter and the issue is closed. Tab + enter does work but I think ctrl + enter would be much better since its what used in most websites and apps.
