Hi all, I’m very new to this fediverse thing!

I’ve recently setup my own instance of Lemmy which I’ve called “CompuVerse”.

This seems to be going quite well, the instance is setup, I seem to be able to view content from other instances and even comment and such!

However, I’m noticing a few oddities. I’m not sure if I’m just misunderstanding something about how the fediverse works, but I don’t seem to be able to see my comments and posts from other instances.

For example:

lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/u/cameron@compuverse.uk Shows no content for my account

beehaw.org: https://beehaw.org/u/cameron@compuverse.uk Shows comments, but no posts

However, if I view other users’ profiles from my own instance, I can see both their posts and comments.

Is this normal or have I managed to mess something up with federation?

Scratch that, upon making this post I’ve realised what’s happening.

It would appear that I can’t see any content that I posted to my own instance from other instances such as lemmy.ml and beehaw.org.

Does anyone have any tips at all?

Much appreciated,

Cameron

    From what I understand, your community will only be synced to instances where at least one ist has subscribed to it. Until then only your insurance knows about it.
