I’ve had a Lemmy instance running at lemmy.fdr8.us for a few days now. I read that federating is enabled by default but it can take some time, but so far the only instance I appear to be federated with is Lemmy.ml. What can I do to get my instance federated with other Lemmy instances?
You can use lemmony to seed communities on your instance. I used it on mine and news page flows like lemmy.world. However, it creates a load on the server.
