Intended way to federate
Intended way to federate
What is the current workflow of federating with other communities?
As many others here, I come from Reddit. I recently setup my own mastodon and matrix instances so the complexity required to federate with other instances on Lemmy surprised me. Am I missing something?
When federating with other communities I have to manually add them to an allowlist. Why is there no option to federate with all available communities by default? If I don't like a particular community, I could block it.
You're viewing a single thread.
You should be able to federate with all available communities by default.
The trick is that your instance will not pull in all communities by default. Once 1 person subscribes to a community (a bit tricky for the first time, see here), all users on your instance will start seeing that community in their "All" feeds.
