Hello from lib.lgbt!
Thank you everyone! Amazing to see this working with all the other instances. Honestly surprised I didn't have to do too much config after using this post as a rough guide. Just took time for everything to start downloading properly, especially with the chaos of the July 1st exodus.

Yes, works for me too!
Yes it works!

Hello from borg.chat
@danQuix0te sorry, I shouldn't have deleted my comment. Still trying to get the time thing sorted out.
No worries! All tests welcome in this thread. Do you think it's your server host? What's the output of the "date" command?
I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!
It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.
beep beep - mylem.me checking in
Pong! (Feddit.nl) 👍
Woo, successful testing, yeah!
seeing this over at kbin.cafe
How did you do it. I can't find other instances (almost none) on my instance.
A new instance doesn't federate on its own. It needs to discover the other servers. Use something like https://lemmyverse.net/ to make links with your home server and visit the other instances. Subscribe to a few and you'll start getting those posts.
I have allot of them now. But i cant find anything..
Do you see your instance on https://lemmy.world/instances or other servers /instances? That's typically a good sign that your server is federated.
