some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation
announcement post from [email protected] : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18545/nodebb-v4.0.0-federate-good-times-come-on
Comment below with any other NodeBB communities as people update their servers and enable federation
You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub).
Someone has to subscribe to those communities. You are probably going to be the first one.
Oooh, is it subscribing that starts up federation of community content and not searching for it? For some reason I was under the impression that just putting the !communityname@instance into the search bar did it
No, someone has to be subscribed. Hence the use of https://lemmy-federate.com/ to help with that
the search should work, but give it time
I know it says no results found when the local search finishes even though it’s still doing the remote search
also some apps may not yet support hyphens in community names, but at least it works for me in the web browser
if the direct link to the announcement wasn’t loading for you, then their server was probably having issues (it was earlier too)
Thanks for the info!
That’s stupid.
If Lemmy.World made [email protected], whose sole purpose was to subscribe to every single federated community, would that mean Lemmy.World users wouldn’t have this issue?
correct, that’s basically what https://lemmy-federate.com/ does, it just subscribes for each instance
