Hello all,
i’m trying to selfhost lemmy on an ARM64 with docker. I thought I could have reached my instance from the fediverse, but to be honest i tried to seek it from i.e. mastodon (and even other lemmy instances) but it doesn’t simply find anything. On the other hand, from my istance I can find others (mastodon & lemmy). According to the documentation, there is not particular configuration for ports (I’m running it behind a cloudflare argo tunnel). Can anyone advice me where to find documentation that explains how to federate properly?
Thanks Matt, apparently I was able at least to federate with lemmy.world since I got your answer… now I “just” have to figure out why I cannot find my user from mastodon (and why if I DM from lemmy my mastodon’s user, I get nothing) :)
@Marsupial@quokk.au that’s awesome; I mean, I don’t rellay need it to be perfect at once. I was just wondering if I needed to open some “strange ports” (for example, with matrix I need to open 2 ports at once to let the federation work). But as long as I’m reachable from others lemmy istances and vice versa, it’s all ok. Thanks for your feedback guys :)
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

You’re showing up on my personal instance as well, so I’d say you’re all good on the Lemmy syncing.
Not sure why you’re not syncing on Mastodon, it might just be a time thing? Maybe check back in a day or so?
