Been trying to make federation work for a while now but none of the posts even show up. I went out of my way to follow all the comms and pretty much every user I see. Would this just be the kind of thing I need to do as an instance owner to make it click the way Lemmy-Lemmy federation does? @badposting@hexbear.net

    Your instance looks like a mastodon instance, do Hexbear posts show up on mastodon instances? Or just lemmy instances.

      @Infamousblt@hexbear.net They show up on here and honestly the link display is better. I really don't like Lemmy format. So I'm a bit bummed that no matter how hard I try to follow everything on here, TCHNCS.DE only seems to grab a tiny sliver of the content I even subscribed to. I followed /c/music over a week ago and not a single post has appeared. It's pointless.

      Still worth it because I like being able to upvote by using Misskey emoji likes, allowing me to immediately categorize everything into a cloud stored folder.

      If I can fix this by starting my own Firefish instance and setting Hexbear and Lemmy and Lemmygrad as favorites, it'll be epic. Also makes comments show up when it works, unlike RSS.

      Otherwise I'm just going to stop using Lemmy actively, I don't even like it. Just wanted to be able to mass search stuff. I can use RSS so you get hit with my infamous CTRL-F posting, but that's sad to use Lemmy -> RSS -> Misskey RSS connection made by DIYgod
