I have gone ahead and added
federation: {
# whether to enable activitypub federation.
enabled: true
tls_enabled: true
# Allows and blocks are described here:
}
to my site configuration file, however I am not able to view any of the other instances.
Many thanks
What you need to do is fetch objects from another instance manually. You do this by searching the url of a community, post or user.
I tried doing as you suggested but it seems that objects don’t sync on my instance. I subscribed to the community !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml but it shows up as empty on my instance
So i checked and it seems like federation only works for new posts and comments. It doesn’t seem to sync with any of the old posts and comments before I set up federation. Is there a way to get all the old comments and posts to sync?
Also is there a way to remove the blinking cursor that it appears on various parts of the page?
