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 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.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]

Hello World!
seeing this over at kbin.cafe
How did you do it. I can’t find other instances (almost none) on my instance.

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.
Can see you from my local instance :)

What a lovely instance name. Also received on sopuli.xyz btw.
Familiar with the Reddit story?
Yeah of course! That’s why it’s so nice. But I think it works as standalone as well.
So test! Such wow!
@danQuix0te
I see it from over here in Mastodon land. Interestingly, all the timestamps look ok from here.
Edit: guess I’m testing editing to correct a typo. :dancing_panda:
Found its way to a kbin instance too
It’s interesting that your post says “in 1 hour” as the timestamp. What would be causing that?
Perhaps a time zone thing? I posted it from CET / UTC + 1

I think they’re aware of the 2 hours difference from kbin to other instances and will likely investigate it at some point.
That makes sense!
@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?

UTC now. Am I still the ghost of federation’s past?
Edit: seems so?
One more try. I sure hope you don’t have notifications enabled for all replies…
Edit: well now I’m stumped
I suspect it works!
Classic testing in prod
Is there any other way??
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
I don’t always test my code, but when I do, I do it in prod
Real men test in prod
