Is this federating?

    Not only is it federating from you to lemmy.world, it’s federating over the airways around the world!

    You are federating but lemmy.world is bad at federating-out right now. So it’s not a great place to test this.

    I don’t know how much propagation time is involved in synchronizing instances. Most of the time it seems pretty quick. I’m seeing the OP plus one reply on lemm.ee anyway.

      how has it been, setting up a kbin instance btw? I’ve been trying to get mine fully working… Does lemmy federation work fully with you?

        Some Lemmy instances don’t federate correctly but most of them do. Be wary, it takes time - I thought it wasn’t working for a bit.

        The kbin matrix space is pretty helpful, if you have a matrix account.

        Other considerations:

        • The MERCURE_JWT_SECRET .env needs to be 32 characters long (duh, but I wasn’t thinking when I was setting passwords)
        • The .env file gives an example media subdomain as media.your.domain but it should actually be your.domain/media
        • Installing yarn might actually install something totally different. The docker instructions get around this using some custom repository in the instructions. We got around that a different way by installing the latest version of nodejs, npm, and installing yarn from npm. (We are using Ubuntu 22.04 so the experience might be different for you)
        • We are rapidly running out of space on our VPS and can’t diagnose it. We know it’s not the amount of media stored. The docker containers steadily increase in size until the instance hangs and we have to restart, but at this point restarting still consumes 80% of our 80GB of space so we have to diagnose this and fix it.

          Regarding you last point, is it logs? I haven’t tried to set up a personal instance yet but I have had trouble before with other services defaulting to debug mode for logging and generating reams and reams of useless space wasting logs.
