Instructions for running your own lemmy instance.
For the moment, lemmy.ml is using an explicit allowlist
for instances we federate with. If you currently run an instance, and would like to be added to join.lemmy.ml:
lemmy.hjson
config (for open federation):federation: {
enabled: true
tls_enabled: true
# allowed_instances: lemmy.ml,other_instance.tld,... uncomment this to use an allowlist
}
!announcements@lemmy.ml
into your server’s search box, and subscribe to it to connect the two instances.Lemmy Announcements
Feel free to announce new communities here.
Other than that, this is reserved for admin use only.
i made mentano.org
I could use some tips
On your Lemmy instance, hit the Search icon, then post a full direct user of a community/user you want to look at (https://lemmy.ml/c/announcements), or a post you want to comment on (https://lemmy.ml/post/89740). Look in your logs and you should see some activity.
If you want to get updates for a Lemmy community, you have to subscribe to it.
yeah but they have to whitelist me, no?
