I set up a new lemmy instance. I can log in and create communities locally.

But I do not see ANY other instances.

I have checked Federation Enabled

I look through my logs and there appear to be no errors.

I check and save, Federation debug mode but it never stays checked.

I am trying to find the disconnect. Why is my instance not fully federating and why can I not find any errors…

Does anyone have a next step for me, what to look into?

docker-compose logs -f lemmy

Is where I look for logs

      I want to try this, do I need to change the lemmy domain to my own instance url? (if this is a double comment, I tried it from my own instance, but can’t see it on my alt. If someone can see this 2 times, I’m sorry.)

          I get an error because Debian is not playing along. And I know too little of Linux to investigate further, so I think I need to abandon and run away, while my server is still alive…

      Thanks, I am reading through the code : D

      I think my disconnect is I don’t understand how the instances connect so this is a HUGE help sends hugs

          I couldn’t get it running but I was able to sub to a cat place!!!

          I still want to get your thingy to work. I KNOW I am doing something wrong

          docker run --name lemmy-subscriber-bot --restart always -dt --env 'LEMMY_USERNAME=lemmy_bot' --env 'LEMMY_PASSWORD=redacted' --env 'LEMMY_DOMAIN=nerdly.dev' lflare/lemmy-subscriber-bot .

          Returns

          docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: ".": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

              I will try it again but I just wanted to say thanks again. With your code I created my own dumb python script that is working. I want to create a great aggregator and you are sending me in the right direction!

              I think I will keep working on this and share with you what I did (if you will find it helpful) Or create a pull req if I have the time for your code as well.

              This is REALLY what Lemmy needs and is severely missing!

              You rock! Meow!

      Would you be able to give a brief overview of what your tool does? I feel like it’s perfect for my situation, but am new enough to all this that I’m not exactly sure what the tool does.
